and then an example using #if with operators & and |.  Short answer:  yes,
it's a bug, to be fixed on the next release of Aztec C.  Longer answer:
for a good fix, albeit a bit slow, try the port of the Decus preprocessor
on Fish disk 28;  there is a cc command which invokes this cpp and the
Aztec compiler in sequence.
