+# Introduction
+
+The C Preprocessor is an interesting standard. It appears to be
+derived from the de-facto behaviour of the first preprocessors, and
+has evolved over the years. Implementation is therefore difficult.
+
+JCPP is a complete, compliant, standalone, pure Java implementation
+of the C preprocessor. It is intended to be of use to people writing
+C-style compilers in Java using tools like sablecc, antlr, JLex,
+CUP and so forth (although if you aren't using sablecc, you need your
+head examined).
+
+This project has has been used to successfully preprocess much of
+the source code of the GNU C library. As of version 1.2.5, it can
+also preprocess the Apple Objective C library.
