While sipping some tequilla Stan was heard slurring to Daniel
 SH> 
 SH> Daniel Hudson was speaking to Garry Kubel about Re: # operator 
 SH> Hi Daniel,
 SH> Are you sure about this?
 
 Yes, I am.
 
 SH> ... about # operator 
 GK> ... a bit of Power Basic code ...
 
 DH> #include  includes external header files ...
 DH> #if, #ifdef, and #ifndef are conditional ...
 DH> #define and #undef - define and undefine macros for use ...
 DH> #line - can't remember
 SH> The functionality you describe is denoted by the "$" symbol in
 SH> PowerBASIC. Instructions to the compiler are preceeded with $.
 
 Yes but PB  C or is that PB != C. 8-)
 SH> $INCLUDE FileName$    - to include external TXT files as source
 SH> $IF, $ELSE, $ENDIF    - conditional compilation
 SH> 
 SH> The "#" is used primarily as a FileNumber Identifier as in these:
  He was tring to port C code to PB, and in c # is used for pre-processor 
  directives.
 
 SH> OPEN "I", 1, FileName$
 SH> INPUT #1, Variable$
 SH> PRINT #1, String$
 SH> CLOSE #1
  C uses
  FILE * var;
 
 SH> Are you describing the way it's done in C? I don't recognize the
 SH> conventions you describe.
 Yup, that's what I'm talking about.
 SH> Stan, just wondering
 No problem.
