Great, GUILT BY association. That is all you will get here because your
FACTS ARE DEAD WRONG. Perhaps such ignorance would be forgivable if it wasn't
so easy to get the correct information, $ HELP CC on any handy VMS machine
tells you about

   $ CC/PREPROCESS_ONLY

which is cpp under VMS. And if somebody really wants to use that to preprocess
a UIL file then it is certainly easy have ones makefiles invoke it.
