+%C This module is part of the \CONTEXT\ macro||package and is
+%C therefore copyrighted by \PRAGMA. Non||commercial use is
+%C granted.
+
+%D Some support modules are more or less independant. This
+%D module, which is not part of plain \CONTEXT, provides the
+%D missing macros and declarations of registers.
+
+%D \macros
+%D {ifnocontextobject}
+%D {}
+%D
+%D First we take care of redundant defining. The next set of
+%D macros are a bit complicated by the fact that Plain
+%D \TEX\ defines the \type{\new}||macros as being outer.
+%D Furthermore nested \type{\if}'s can get us into
+%D trouble.

+%D \macros
+%D {writestatus}
+%D {}
+%D
+%D We start each module with a message. Normally the output is
+%D formatted, but here we keep things simple.

+\ifnocontextobject \writestatus \do

+ \def\writestatus#1#2%

+%D Lets see if it works.

+%D \macros
+%D {protect,unprotect}
+%D {}
+%D
+%D Next we present a poor mans alternative for \type{\protect}
+%D and \type{\unprotect}, two commands that enable us to use
+%D the characters \type{@}, \type{!} and \type{?} in macro
+%D names.
+

+%D \macros
+%D {scratch...,if...,next...}
+%D {}
+%D
+%D We need some scratch registers. Users are free to use them,
+%D but can never be sure of their value once another macro is
+%D called. We only allocate things when they are yet
+%D undefined. This way we can't mess up other macro packages,
+%D but of course previous definitions can mess up our modules.

+%D \macros
+%D {everyline,EveryLine,EveryPar}
+%D {}
+%D
+%D In \CONTEXT\ we use \type{\everypar} for special purposes
+%D and provide \type{\EveryPar} as an alternative. The same
+%D goes for \type{\everyline} and \type{\EveryLine}.

+%D \macros
+%D {smashbox}

+%D
+%D The system modules offer a range of smashing macros, of
+%D which we only copied \type{\smashbox}.

+ {\wd#1=\!!zeropoint
+ \ht#1=\!!zeropoint
+ \dp#1=\!!zeropoint}

+\fi
+
+%D \macros
+%D {dowithnextbox}
+%D {}
+%D
+%D Also without further comment, we introduce a macro that
+%D gets the next box and does something usefull with it.
+%D Because the \type{\afterassignment} is executed inside the
+%D box, we have to use a \type{\aftergroup} too.
+
+\ifnocontextobject \dowithnextbox \do
+
+ \def\dowithnextbox#1%

+\fi
+
+%D \macros
+%D {setvalue,getvalue,letvalue,setgvalue}
+%D {}
+%D
+%D The next two macros expand their argument to
+%D \type{\argument}. The first one is used to define macro's
+%D the second one executes them.
+
+\ifnocontextobject \setvalue \do

+\fi
+
+%D \macros
+%D {unexpanded}
+%D {}
+%D
+%D The next command can be used as prefixed for commands that
+%D need protection during tests and writing to files. This
+%D is a very \CONTEXT\ specific one.
+
+\ifnocontextobject \unexpanded \do
+
+ \let\unexpanded=\relax
+
+\fi
+
+%D \macros
+%D {convertargument}
+%D {}
+%D
+%D The original one offers a bit more, like global assignment, the
+%D the next implementation is however a bit more byte saving.
+
+\ifnocontextobject \convertargument \do
+
+ \def\doconvertargument#1>{}
+
+ \long\def\convertargument#1\to#2%
+ {\long\def\convertedargument{#1}%
+ \edef#2{\expandafter\doconvertargument\meaning\convertedargument}}
+
+\fi
+
+%D \macros
+%D {forgetall}
+%D {}
+%D
+%D Sometimes we have to disable interference of whatever kind
+%D of skips and mechanisms. The next macro resets some.
+
+\ifnocontextobject \forgetall \do
+
+ \def\forgetall%
+ {\parskip\!!zeropoint
+ \leftskip\!!zeropoint
+ \parindent\!!zeropoint
+ \everypar{}}
+
+\fi
+
+%D \macros
+%D {withoutpt}
+%D {}
+%D
+%D \TEX\ lacks some real datastructure. We can however use
+%D \DIMENSIONS. This kind of trickery is needed when we want
+%D \TEX\ to communicate with the outside world (by means of
+%D \type{\specials}).
+
+\ifnocontextobject \withoutpt \do
+
+ {\catcode`\.=\@@other
+ \catcode`\p=\@@other
+ \catcode`\t=\@@other
+ \gdef\WITHOUTPT#1pt{#1}}

+
+\fi
+
+%D \macros
+%D {doprocessfile}
+%D {}
+%D
+%D This macro takes three arguments: the file number, the
+%D filename and a macro that handles the content of a read
+%D line.
+
+\ifnocontextobject \doprocessfile \do
+
+ \def\doprocessfile#1#2#3%

+ \doprocessline}
+
+\fi
+
+%D \macros
+%D {uncatcodespecials}
+%D {}
+%D
+%D This one is taken from the \TEX\ book. The \CONTEXT\
+%D alternative is a bit different, but we hope this one works
+%D here.
+
+\ifnocontextobject \uncatcodespecials \do
+
+ \def\uncatcodespecials%
+ {\def\do##1{\catcode`##1=12 }\dospecials}
+
+\fi
+
+%D \macros
+%D {doglobal}
+%D
+%D Some \CONTEXT\ low level macros can have a \type{\doglobal}
+%D prefix. Let's just forget about that here:
+
+\ifnocontextobject \doglobal \do \let\doglobal=\relax \fi
+
+%D The next obscure one is needed in the generic verbatim
+%D environment. When we end up with more of these, it's time
+%D to load the module \type{syst-gen}.
+
+\ifnocontextobject \doifincsnameelse \do
+
+ \def\v!ifincsnameelse#1#2%
+ {\def\c!ifincsnameelse##1#1##2##3\war%
+ {\csname\if##2@iffalse\else iftrue\fi\endcsname}%
+ \expandafter\c!ifincsnameelse#2#1@@\war}
+

+ \expandafter\v!ifincsnameelse\expandafter{\@@instring}{#2}%
+ #3%
+ \else
+ #4%
+ \fi}
+
+\fi
+
+%D That's it. Please forget this junk and take a look at how
+%D it should be done.
