mklicence is actually a poor name for this package, and reveals its origins. I was working on multipl versions of a software licence, and wanted to have a single file that could be conditionalised rather than several separate files that would need to be synchronised. mklicence is actually a very simple-minded text pre-processor. It's limited to variable substitution and conditional inclusion, but it does those pretty well, including nested conditionals. Variables can be defined on the command line or in the file being processed. For more information, use the source, Luke! And don't throw things at me, please. I've found this useful and more easily and intuitively used than m4, so I offer it in the hope that someone else -- you, maybe -- might also find it useful. The entire mklicence package is copyright 1999 by MeepZor Consulting, and is licenced according to the MeepZor Public Licence, found on the Web at . If you have questions, complaints, or suggestions, send them to . Enjoy! I hope this makes life at least a tiny bit simpler for you..
