From a desperate Fortranist, who put himself into troubles
with his own hands.
Dear C Community,
Can anybody help me ? I have a lot of Fortran source code
to be preprocessed by cpp (to handle machine dependencies etc)
( it seemed a good idea ... )
that I am porting from a Unix environment to Vax/VMS.
The Digital Vax C compiler we have on our 8800
has a built-in cpp which cannot be used stand-alone !
i.e. I cannot avoid my poor Fortran programs to be fed into
the subsequent passes of the C compiler ( hard work for
the parser ..).
Does anybody know if there is a cpp.c in the public domain, and
how to reach it ?
Thank you very much in advance to anybody who may help me.

The fee is for labor involved in making the tape, etc. The software is Free in the sense that it is not enslaved by unfriendly licencing reqirements. Once you get the programs from the FSF you can give them away to your friends, subject to the emancipating provisions of the GNU General Public Licence.

I thought everyone knew `$150' == `free' (must be the NEW new math) :-) ... Seriously, you may get a free copy of GNU CPP from anyone who is willing to give you one, but FSF is not willing to mail tapes for free. That is, the *software* is free, but the *tape* costs $150 if obtained from FSF. The distinction matters whenever you get it some OTHER way.

Hi ! Why dont you look at DECUS cpp. I have successfully compiled it on my Amiga and it works very well. The Amiga-version is available from Fred Fish (fnf@well.uucp) or some DEC User's Group near you :-) Klaus

Get the GNU C compiler, which has a preprocessor as well.
