I suppose that it's simple if you're used to C-like macro languages.
:) I've attempted to convert this to a Term ARexx script, as I
mentioned on your board.

I'm impressed! For a lot of people, portability just means that their
code compiles on different Intel-based environments. :(

FWIW, I prefer to put most portability stuff in .h files to keep the
main source less cluttered. I did this to the MD5 code you posted
here recently when I "Amigatized" it.
