Dear Compiler-Types:

     I am looking for a CLI-driven preprocessor that I can use on a
Windows system for preprocessing text files (not C programs, BTW). The
C preprocessor has about the features I need.

     Web searches for something to do the job have not been very
fruitful.

     Does anyone know of something simple that will do the job?

     (In the meantime, I am slowly putting something together with not
as many features, but that will work I hope.)

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko
