The design of the MAX macroprocessor

D. Nudds *

Computing Laboratory, University of Bradford, Bradford, UK

A new macroprocessor has been designed for general purpose text manipulation. The system aims to provide the user with a completely flexible system free of any syntactic rules for the specification of macro calls. Although the lack of restriction implies greater system overheads in the form of more extensive scanning and comparison of the scanned text with the set of defined macros, a block structure together with a tree structured macro definition list enable a practicable working system to be implemented which is not unrealistically slow.

Received October 1974.
