Was this off-topic for this list?  (No responses yet) Anyway, I found the
answer.  If you run the public cpp.exe with the -v switch, you will see from
the trace that it's just a front end for the internal one.

Subject: which cpp.exe?


Hello,

The current binary download contains two different executables named
cpp.exe:  one in the top-level /bin directory, and one in

	/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2

These are different size files, so one is not a copy of the other.  I have
not found any documentary reference to them.  

1) What is the difference between them and their intended use?

2) Am I safe to assume that for the purposes of a stand-alone C++
preprocessor, I should use /bin/cpp.exe ?

Thanks,

... Fred Dashiell
