If you are referring to my 'EMP' projects, you can find them at
http://chlorophil.blogspot.com/2007/04/erlang-macro-processor-v1-part-i.html
and http://chlorophil.blogspot.com/2007/04/erlang-macro-processor-v2-part-i.html

If you are referring to some other parse_transform macro tutorial,
please post a link - I'd like to read it! :-)

Also, Ulf Wiger's ct_expand module can usually be found at
http://forum.trapexit.org/viewtopic.php?t=6009 , but I am getting a
"/viewtopic.php not found" error from there at the moment.

Cheers,
