Hello,

I am new to the m4 community and would like to understand the best way to p=
ropose a patch.
I have a few small changes I would like to request =96 one minor one where =
there is a macro collision on z/OS where __stat is already defined, and two=
 others where I would like to add some z/OS specific code for conversion to=
 ASCII from EBCDIC.
I have a third where the error message from our runtime is =91<message numb=
er> No such file or directory=92 instead of just =91No such file or directo=
ry=92.

What is the preferred way to propose these changes for the community?

Thanks, Mike


Thanks, Mike
