    Hello NG,
    I'd like to announce the release of Unimal 2.0, an advanced preprocessor
    independent of the target programming language(s).
    Built upon successful industry experience with the previous versions, it
    is now more powerful and expressive.
    It proved to work wonders with static initialization and software
    project configuration, greatly reducing (sometimes, to zero) the
    maintainability problems, saving computing resources at the same time.
    It is also great for sharing data among disparate languages as it can
    output several different files, program-controlled.
    Full-featured version 2.0 is made available for unlimited evaluation,
    along with a few application notes, at
    I would really like to ask people to evaluate it and provide some
    feedback at macroexpressions dot com. In particular,
    - do you find any omission in Unimal functionality?
    - would you suggest further improvements to Unimal?
    - do you find it easy or difficult to bring Unimal into your build process?
    - etc
    Thank you for your anticipated interest.
    Best,
    Ark Khasin

    When people put up web pages that require horizontal scrolling, I
    ignore them. How hard is it to let html do its normal thing and
    adapt to the user?

    Thank you for your observation. It is my oversight, now fixed.

    Much better. However I was under the mistaken impression it was
    open-source.

    There are good reasons why people shell out thousands for embedded
    tools. I think Unimal is well within the means of those who need to
    optimize.

    The more power to you. As I said, mistaken impression.

    Am I the only one who thought that said "Urinal" the first time I
    looked at it?

    The only one I can think of is when then don't have a choice. You know of
    any others?

    It just doesn't seem like good programming practice to decorate your
    source code with a non-standard and proprietary macro language.

    Exactly. I don't recall having seen any reason to prefer this
    new-fangled, proprietary macro processor over plain old m4.
