Just installed gcc 2.7.2.1 (from djgpp distribution). Believe it or
not, I can't get logical or bitwise OR (pipe symbol) to compile. Get
message "parse error before character 0335", 335 being the (octal)
ascii for the pipe character. For example, this won't compile:

int main (int argc, char * argv[]) {
  if((argc == 1) || (argc == 2)) {
    return 1;
  } else {
    return o;
  }
}

Nothing wrong with my PC (Win 95, UK English setup), and my pipes
otherwise work fine.

Can't contemplate coding without OR, so any ideas out there?

TIA,

Richard
