Subj: 	cpp arrived

Thanks.  It looks very nice.

One change, for 68000s in cppdef.h:

	#ifdef mc68000
	#define SYS_68000
	#endif



Subj: 	cpp particulars from latest draft standard

substitution for formals in a macro body

	# <formal> becomes "<actual>"

catenation of tokens

	<token1> ## <token2> becomes <token1><token2>

new form of include (this may cause some trouble for vax-C)

	#include <macro-name> becomes #include <macro-expansion>

where <macro-expansion> must be of either the form

	"<file>"

or

	< <file> >




Subj: 	cpp for the Boston Computer Society

A colleague of mine asks

	I would like to make the source of the Minow C Preprocessor
	available to members of the Boston Computer Society. The
	distribution of the Preprocessor would be free of charge
	except for a $7 fee per diskette for overhead.  Is this
	permissible?
