Abstract

The subject of this paper is a general syntax directed macro preprocessor system. One of the suggested potential uses of this system is that of evaluating new or extended programming languages by the technique of syntax directed macros. This led to the association of the acronym SYMPLE (SYntax Macro Preprocessor for Language Evaluations) with this system.
