  11. I am trying to have a #defined variable recognized by the
  12. preprocessor inside a string. In other words, I want to
  13. do something like this:
  14.  
  15. #define JUNK 50
  16. static char *junk = "JUNK ways to leave your lover."
  17.  
  18. Now the preprocessor ignores JUNK, because it is inside the double
  19. quotes. Is there any way to get around this ? Please respond 
  20. by e-mail or by followup, I will post a summary if needed. Thanks.
