USE WITH EXTREME CAUTION!!! I can’t stress this enough but you <em>seriously</em> need to know what you are doing. DON’T purge symbol that you use in expressions the linker needs to calculate. In fact, it’s probably not even safe to purge anything other than string symbols and macros.</p> <pre>Kamikaze EQUS "I don't want to live anymore" AOLer EQUS "Me too" PURGE Kamikaze,AOLer</pre> <p>Note that string symbols that are part of a PURGE command WILL NOT BE EXPANDED as the ONLY exception to this rule.</p> <hr> <p>Last updated 02 July 1997 by <a href="mailto:[email protected]">Carsten Sorensen</a></p> </body> </html>
