The original looks more correct to me. After the file has been run
through the preprocessor, it becomes "preprocessed".

The other option I was thinking of was "postprocessed," because the .c
file comes *after* processing.

I beg to disagree. ECPG is an "embedded SQL preprocessor", so why can't
the file be called "preprocessed"?

Well, the .c file is the one that should be processed. So you have to
preprocess the .pc file to get a .c file.
