4.2 BSD C preprocessor query (macros in quotes)

[Brett Galloway]

I have a program in which I have a macro defining a number.  I want the
C compiler/preprocessor to generate a string containing that number.
For example ...

#define	NUM	2
#define	NUMSTR	"NUM"

The problem is that the C preprocessor will not substitute NUM when it is
in quotes.  My question (for this example) is whether there is any way to
generate a macro with value "2" frm the macro NUM.

Please respond by mail.  I will summarize.

Thank you (in advance)
