	re arthur olson's  msg about open ended
string macros.  this is non-portable and in direct contravention of
the definition of what the pre-processor is supposed to do.

	the pre-processor is supposed to work with tokens only.  half
of a string is not a full token.  this should generate an error
message not concatenate two half strings.
