    adj 1: very large in scale or scope or capability
    n 1: a single computer instruction that results in a series of
         instructions in machine language [syn: macro, macro
         instruction]

2. The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48

   [1913 Webster]

4. The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48
macro \macro\ n. [shortened form of macroinstruction]
   1. a single computer instruction which symbolizes, and is
      converted at the time of program execution or by a
      compiler into, a series of instructions in the same
      computer language.
      [WordNet 1.5]

   2. A keystroke (or combination of keystrokes) which
      symbolizes and is replaced by a series of keystrokes; -- a
      convenient feature of some advanced programs, such as word
      processors or database programs, which allows a user to
      rapidly execute any series of operations which may be
      performed multiple times. Such macros may typically be
      defined by the program user, without rewriting or
      recompiling the program.
      [PJC]

5. The Jargon File (version 4.4.7, 29 Dec 2003)
macro
 /mak'roh/, n.

    [techspeak] A name (possibly followed by a formal arg list) that is
    equated to a text or symbolic expression to which it is to be expanded
    (possibly with the substitution of actual arguments) by a macro expander.
    This definition can be found in any technical dictionary; what those won't
    tell you is how the hackish connotations of the term have changed over
    time.

    The term macro originated in early assemblers, which encouraged the use of
    macros as a structuring and information-hiding device. During the early
    1970s, macro assemblers became ubiquitous, and sometimes quite as powerful
    and expensive as HLLs, only to fall from favor as improving compiler
    technology marginalized assembler programming (see languages of choice).
    Nowadays the term is most often used in connection with the C preprocessor,
    LISP, or one of several special-purpose languages built around a
    macro-expansion facility (such as TeX or Unix's [nt]roff suite).

    Indeed, the meaning has drifted enough that the collective macros is now
    sometimes used for code in any special-purpose application control language
    (whether or not the language is actually translated by text expansion), and
    for macro-like entities such as the keyboard macros supported in some text
    editors (and PC TSR or Macintosh INIT/CDEV keyboard enhancers).

MACRO

   1. Assembly language for VAX/VMS.

   2. PL/I-like language with extensions for string processing.
