   I run "pdcc -E" (also public domain, ships with PDOS)   
   as a step prior to executing SubC, so I don't care about   
   preprocessor limitations in SubC as #line is the only   
   thing it ever sees.

   I haven't had a need for any of that stuff in my OS-related   
   code so far, and can presumably work around it if I do. Or   
   I may be able to modify SubC myself, as I have bought   
   Nil's book and am studying the code. Some of it was too   
   difficult for me to understand though, so I'm hoping no   
   problem occurs there. I have noticed that I'm not very good   
   with algorithms. Most code that I have written hasn't   
   involved complex algorithms. And so far I haven't been able   
   to find anyone willing to modify SubC even if I pay them.
