Hi. As promised (a *long* time ago), here's my updated list of
predefined CPP symbols, which are generally used to allow machine
and/or operating system specific code to be #ifdef'ed. Very few of
these are actually documented anywhere; the purpose of this list is to
try to take some of the "folklore" and make the information available
to everyone. The data here is collected from a number of sources;
please see the "acknowledgements" list at the end of this article. I
don't have any data on anything earlier than V7.
