Message-ID: <25615@nigel.udel.EDU> Date: 25 Jul 90 17:23:44 GMT Sender: mmdf@ee.udel.EDU Lines: 16 In a recent message Christoph van Wuellen asked: >>What can be considered as a possible replacement: I have gnu cpp (is it >>that big?) and decus cpp (I think a pirate version of some commercial stuff). >> . >>C.v.W. >> In the X11R4 release there is a preprocessor in the mit/util/cpp directory. (I think it existed in R3 too.) I ported this to minix (PC) once without any significant problems. Compared to the ack cpp, it turned out to have a little larger code-segment and a little smaller data-segment. Unfortunately I don't have patches easily available, but it wasn't a difficult program to port. I have not done any extensive testing of the program. Bjarne Steinsbo
