The Data General AOS/VS C compiler (and the DG/UX MV/Eclipse C compiler which was the same beast repackaged for unix) had the preprocessor as part of the tokenizer. This is from the horse's mouth, since I wrote the compiler front end, and the preprocessor never was a separate program. It started shipping in the 1982 time frame. -- Michael Meissner email: meissner@osf.org phone: 617-621-8861 Open Software Foundation, 11 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, MA, 02142 Considering the flames and intolerance, shouldn't USENET be spelled ABUSENET?
