- This is a version of the Decus cpp which has been modified to run on
- the Amiga. The bootstraping and porting process is not real straight-
- forward, and in fact required the resources of a Unix system cpp since
- neither Manx nor Lattice could properly deal with the cpp source code
- before preprocessing. Thus, it may require some work and ingenuity
- to recreate the supplied executable!
-
- This cpp predefines "amiga" as opposed to "AMIGA". This is a somewhat
- belated attempt to coerce the Amiga world into following the convention
- of other C environments that the system predefines are lowercase to avoid
- clashes with user predefines, which are uppercase by convention.
-
- A hacked up version of my Unix like cc frontend that knows about the
- cpp is also supplied, for the Manx compiler.
-
- I was holding this back until I had a copy of the public domain C
- compiler and assembler to go along with it, but since these two items
- appear to be unreleasable for the immediate future, decided to go ahead
- and release the cpp now.
