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). -- martin@ | Martin Gregorie gregorie. | Essex, UK org |
