<div class="moz-cite-prefix">On a related note, I just read cstr 99
- Bell's computing research history and one of Doug's early
articles was mentioned:<br>
<br>
M. D. McIlroy, "Macro Instruction Extension of Compiler
Languages," Communications of the<br>
ACM 3 (April 1960), pp. 214-220.<br>
<br>
It's discussing the general extensibility that macros provide and
I was interested to obtain a copy to read at leisure. I found it
over on ACM's digital library:<br>
<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/367177.367223">https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/367177.367223</a><br>
<br>
But, the copy's not that great on my deteriorating eyesight. Does
anybody have a cleaner copy?<br>
<br>
Lately, I've been vastly improving my vi/vim skills and part of
that process is shifting from an ad-hoc process to a move, act,
repeat mentality (thank you Drew Neil for that revelation) and
macros are consonant with this line of thinking :).<br>
