Someone disassembled the Microware OS-9 C compiler and translated it from 6809 to C.  The source was sent anonymously to Boisy and has been offered on this list at least once  before.  The source can be built on Linux and Mac and results in a complete cross compiler for OS-9.

The cpp included with this package is in a "cprep19" directory, and I have confirmed that at least one of the bugs you are working on exists there.  I don't know if this is the same source you are working with or not.

I also looked at the translated compiler itself and confirmed that it supports \d as suggested in the manual.

So i am checking the bugs you are working on and the fixes against this alternate source.  So far it all checks out.

I think we should probably stick this source in the nitros9 or toolshed trees.  We'll need to have a discussion of any licensing and copyright issues before doing this.
