It should now be possible to build PET with preprocessor support. You 
must first update your LKB source tree to the current CVS head.

Once compiled into PET, the following should (I believe -- Bernd, are 
these instructions correct?) allow you to run the FSPP preprocessor on 
input:

- tell PET where to find the .fsr file storing the proprocessor rules by 
adding an entry to PET's config file. Eg. for the ERG, add the following 
line to erg/pet/common.set

    preprocessor := "preprocessor.fsr".

- run PET with the "tok=fsr" option. Eg.

    bmw20 at bmw-1:~/erg$ cheap -tok=fsr english.grm
    reading `pet/english.set'... including `pet/common.set'... 
`pet/global.set'...
    loading `english.grm' (LinGO (Jan-06)) reading ME model 
`rondane.mem'... [11846 features]         Reading
     preprocessor rules `preprocessor.fsr'
    Reading preprocessor rules `ecommerce.fsr'
    Reading preprocessor rules `gcide.fsr'
    Reading preprocessor rules `rondane.fsr'
    #[X-FSPP (62 global, 433 token-level rules @ `[ \t]+')]
