I looked for cpre since I thought that was what the preprocessor was 
called in Microware's K&R compiler. I just ran the compiler up to check 
(its been a long time since I compiled C on that machine) and found it 
too calls it cpp. A visible difference between gcc and the OS/9 compiler 
(cc) is that the latter displays the name and arguments of each compiler 
phase as it is executed: its quite a nice thing to do on a slow machine 
(25 MHz 68020).
