Except that Mr Bergquist explicitly stated he was using the SuOS 4.1 C
compiler, which is *not*, I repeat, *not*, ANSI conformant.  It does not
support this ANSI-ism.  (Sun has 'graciously' provided a seperate, unbundled
ANSI compliant compiler).

So folks, which way does Sun C blow?  Which of the non-portable, pre-ANSI
methods actually works with this compiler?

it it:
#define QUOTE(string) "string"

or is it somehing else?
