Subject: //if & //skip 

I've assembled //IF and //SKIP (using MAC) previously announced
by Charlie Strom <CSTROM @ MC>.   they are very useful utilities which
enable conditional execution within submit files.  They work
by evaluating conditions which you specify (on //IF invocations)
and then gobbling one or more statements out of $$$.SUB if
the conditions are met (or not met).

Conditions include some character string matching (e.g. does $1
equal "abc...") and a good deal of filename testing (e.g.
$1.ASM  is/is-not ambiguous , or $2.$3 exists).

Very nice.
