I have found the following bug in Lattice/SAS C 5.05 and wonder if it
is fixed in 5.10 or if someone can give me a workaround (can anybody
in SAS technical support hear me out there ????).

test.c
--
main()
{
  puts(FUBAR);
}
--
compile with the following line
> lc -dFUBAR="hello" test.c

and it all falls down with lc1 crashing and giving the error
Parameters after file name ignored.

It all fails because of the quotes in the -d option, so my question is
how do you use the -d option if the symbol has imbedded quotes
(and don't say add the line
#define FUBAR "hello"
to the top of the source because that is *not* what I want in this
application).

Thanks in advance,
Phil.
