NAME
   includ - file inclusion preprocessor

SYNOPSIS
   includ [file] ...

DESCRIPTION
   Includ  copies  the named files to the standard output, except
   that any line that begins with
   
                  include file
   or
                  include "file"
   
   is replaced by the entire contents of file.  If no  files  are
   given, or '-' is specified, includ reads its standard input. 
   
   An  included  file  may  contain  further  includes.  However,
   there  is  a  (system-dependent)  limit  to  the  nesting   of
   included files. 

FILES
   None

DIAGNOSTICS
   includes nested too deeply
      The  depth  of  included  files  allowed was exceeded.  The
      depth is set by the NFILES definitions in the  source  code
      and  is  dependent  upon the maximum number of opened files
      allowed on the particular system. 

   name: can't include
      The named file could not be opened; processing continues.

   David Hanson and friends (U. of Arizona)

BUGS/DEFICIENCIES
   The  depth  of  included  files  allowed is dependent upon the
   number of  open  files  allowed  by  the  implementor  of  the
   primitives.
