When trying to use the pre-processor with C-TeX, cpp gave an error message
at the same source line even if I increased the stack size to 500KBytes.

This must be another restriction of cpp, perhaps the value range of
16-bit ints etc. (BTW, the error is not there of course, cpp complains
about non-ascii characters).

Well, C-TeX is a hard job for a preprocessor (more than 100KB include files),
but has anyone had such problems before?

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.

P.S. everything compiles well on a workstation using c68. I will try to
carry over the assembler files, but I would like to be able to rebuild
everything on the 68k box.
