  Log:
  Generate is a text preprocessor that I originally wrote to help me write
  custom accounting applications based on the Progress database product. I
  felt that the built in wasn't useful enough so I designed a new one and
  implemented it. It actually started life as a package configuration and
  batch file generator for DOS and mutated to a simple script interpreter
  to replace shar file distribution. At this point it has almost nothing in
  common with that first program.
  
  The basic idea behind generate is to create a script which generates files.
  There is some simple flow control constructs but the power lies in its
  macro processing. I have shamelessly stolen ideas from cpp, m4, make and
  David Tilbrook's dtree.
