	I have a program that has been hacked to death by people porting
it to other machines.  It is filled with #ifdefs to the point where it's
difficult to follow the code at all.

	I want to remove all the #ifdef IBM_PC and #ifdef MAC stuff in
the entire program, and get the UNIX-only source code back.  There's a
program called "scpp" in Volume 3 of comp.sources.unix (uunet.uu.uet)
that claims to be good for this.

	Is "scpp" reliable?  Robust?  Is there a better program now
available?

	E-mail only please, and I'll summarize.
