We are experiencing apparent differences between behavior of the m4 command under Cygnus' toolset and that offered by MKS. The MKS version 'works', Cygnus' doesn't, and I'm interested in a quick answer as to whether there are any known differences between the two gnu tools as regards m4. Thank you, and the original note follows. >>I have a question regarding differences >>between bl18 of the gnu-win32 tools >>and a version marketed by MKS. >> >>We have loaded gnu-win32 in order to utilize >>m4 and chmod commands.
