I have a problem with the m4 macro processor:

how can I solve this problem:

Quote:>    -- define(big-bang, BIG-BANG)   # does not work #
>    ....
>    There was a big-bang at xyz
>    ....

the output should be:
    ==> ....
    ==> There was a BIG-BANG at xyz
    ==> ....

I call the m4 as followed :
    ==> %m4 <filename>

Is there anyone how can help me to solve the problem
