Oh! You already solved that, wow. And *without* creating multiple .tmp files. I
apologize for not grasping what what your code does; I took only a cursory
glance at it while I was working out my own tests. (The beginning of your code
kind of threw me off...
       // name of include file containing splines
          #declare FileName = "Splines.inc";

I mistakenly thought that you were somehow manipulating the *original*
splines.inc include file; sorry!)

So your code actually writes *multiple* #declares to the same .tmp file (called
Splines.inc), to be used later. Excellent.

Thanks for (re-)calling my attention to it. ;-)
