By default, the Configuration Generator uses the macro identification character (; in our
example) from the macro directive as a comment character to identify the comments
inserted into the output file in response to the -w switch.
This default assumption can be overridden using the -b and -e switches to define
alternate comment delimiter strings. The strings sss can be up to 16 characters long.
Special characters must be inserted using the character pair ^x for each special character.
Special characters are:
^b blank (space) (ASCII 0x20)
^t tab (ASCII 0x09)
^r return (ASCII 0x0D)
^n new-line (ASCII 0x0A)
^^ the character ^ (ASCII 0x5E)
Since the System Configuration Module file scfname will be an assembly language
source file, you should always use the switch -b; with the -w switch to force the
Configuration Generator's comment strings to begin with the assembler comment
character (;) in case a macro identification character other than ; is used in macro
directives within the template file.
For other versions of AMX, the System Configuration Module file scfname is a C source
file. For these products, you would use the switches -b/* and -e*/ with the -w switch to
force the Configuration Generator's comment strings to begin and end with the
C comment delimiter strings /* and */.
