Therefore, computers with capability and complexity ranging from that of a personal digital assistant to a supercomputer are all able to perform the same computational tasks as long as time and storage capacity are not considerations.
Computer operating systems and applications were modified to include the ability to define and access the resources of other computers on the network, such as peripheral devices, stored information, and the like, as extensions of the resources of an individual computer.
Computer security experts said yesterday the computer "virus" that disrupted operations of an estimated 6,000 computers in the nation's defense and research centers this week was possible because of a known...

 GNU M4 1.4.9 macro processor
GNU M4 This manual is for GNU M4 (version 1.4.9, 23 March 2007), a package containing an implementation of the m4 macro language.
Later in this document, the sentence “This macro is recognized only with parameters” refers to this specific provision of GNU M4, also known as a blind builtin macro.
For the builtins defined by POSIX that bear this disclaimer, POSIX specifically states that invoking those builtins without arguments is unspecified, because many other implementations simply invoke the builtin as though it were given one empty argument instead.

  M4 (computer language) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Macro processors were prevalent when assembly language programming was the common tool of programmers.
Unlike most earlier macro processors, it is not targeted at any particular computer or human language; historically, however, it was developed for supporting the Ratfor dialect of Fortran.
Unlike some other macro processors, m4 is Turing-complete as well as a practical programming language.

 Computing Languages List
The language was further extended to use computational reflection to manage distributed computing and other language extensions in a way that is as seamless as possible to the user.
The language is suitable for expressing a large class of numerical processor in a form sufficiently concise for direct automatic translation into the language of programmed automatic computers.
The algorithmic language has three different kinds of representations- reference, hardware, and publication, and the development described is in terms of the language are represented by a given set of symbols and it is only in the choice of symbols that the other two representations may differ.

 Ada, C, C++, and Java vs. The Steelman
The language shall permit comments that are introduced by a special (one or two character) symbol and terminated by the next line boundary of the source program.
The language shall distinguish the concepts of type (specifying data elements with common properties, including operations), subtype (i.e., a subset of the elements of a type, that is characterized by further constraints), and representations (i.e., implementation characteristics).
The language shall attempt to prevent aliasing (l.e., multiple access paths to the same variable or record component) that is not intended, but shall not prohibit all aliasing.

 M4 + RATFOR : Contribution To Programming Language Design   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
It is a powerful macro language (Turing-complete) and it can be used with many different programming languages, unlike most earlier macro processors.
In the beginning M4 was developed to support the dialect of Fortran, but nowadays it is not targeted to any particular computer language.
Even though M4 doesn't have any outstanding attributes that other macro processors don't have, it has greatly helped programmers, especially UNIX people, with their tasks by reducing the amount of code to be written (like all macro languages do).

 m4 Macroprocessor
M4 is a very old text file macro processor, almost as old as C-Preprocessor (which was in turn modeled after PL/1 preprocessor).
M4 is a macro processor designed by D.M.Ritchie as a front end for RATFOR and C. As a macro processor M4 assisted in expansion of macros for code translation.
The sendmail source distribution comes with a set of m4 macro definition files which are sufficient to generate a sendmail.cf for practically any site; at most, a little tweaking of the resulting sendmail.cf file (whose syntax has been memorably and justly compared to line noise) may be required.

Instead, I use m4 macros, which are expanded to more or less complex chunks of HTML when the actual files that will appear on the Web are generated.
Note also the use of the -P option to m4, which renames all m4 built-ins to the form m4_builtin— a handy way of avoiding namespace conflicts, since the original function names can often occur in normal English text, necessitating irritating quoting (which one invariably forgets to do, resulting in obscure bugs).
As you can see, m4 definitions from html.m4 are mixed in with "raw" HTML — sometimes to do things that should really be done in the master file: the table definition in the header, for example.

The M4 Project is an effort to break 3 original Enigma messages with the help of distributed computing.
