     We have a Convergent Technology MiniFrame running S5R2 and have run 
into a problem with the C compiler. Apparently it will only accept variable
names of 8 characters or less. Does anyone have a C preprocessor that will
map arbitrary length variable names into 8 character names, or any other
possible solutions to the problem?
