% I need a pd cpp as well.  Our compiler doesn't handle #define's longer
% than eight chars (nor variables either).  At least with a decent cpp I
% could just create a header file with #define THIS_IS_TOO_LONG TITL 
% for each of the conflicting #define's rather than having to sed all the
% source and keep two copies around -- one normal and one with short
% names. 
% 
% Any help would be much appreciated.  I would like to compile elm 1.7 and
% perl. 

We just went through this a couple of weeks ago in comp.lang.c:  Try "Dr.
Dobb's Toolbook of C," from M&T publishing.  It includes the source for the
cpp that goes with the Small-C compiler in it.  You can even get it on a
disk (but not one you can read with a VAX).
