Hello,

I use Mathematica 4 to generate some equations which I export as C code (CForm).

I would like to force Mathematica to export expressions like (x-y)^2 as
(x-y)*(x-y), but I don't know how to achieve this in Mathematica. I tried
several combinations of Hold (and its variants) and t_^2 -> t*t, but so
far I had no luck.

Any hints are welcomed,

                                            Axel Kowald
