I have been trying to get the GASP preprocessor to preprocess
assembly language for the GNU AS assembler but am having great difficulty
1. The assembler does not seem to like ANY comment character(s).  The 
   preprocessor can ignore any (default '!') but can be switched BUT it
   does NOT remove them. - I have writtena filter to remove comments so 
   this is not a major problem.
2. The assembler accepts equates as
     .equ  SYMBOL, value
   but the Preprocessor does not like these it prefers and substitutes
     SYMBOL .EQU value
   again not a major problem - I can live with that
3. In macros the preprocessor will not accept 'A' in a substitution 
   parameter but will accept "A" but the assembler will not accept the "A"
   put in by the preprocessor.

This is required to run under DOS for programs using djgpp.

I have got GCC263 version which I got from sunsite.ic.ac.uk on 28/11/95
I have all the sources but cannot find the relevant source code for
the preprocessor.

When I found the sources for the earlier version which was .ZIPed in a 
separate file I could not build it as I could not find the sources for 
all the includes functions & as I found each one it contained another
missing function.
