|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?

=========
Try this:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    if ((argc == 1) || (argc == 2)) {
        return 1;
    }
    else {
        return 0;               /* mha - replaced 'o' with '0' */
    }
}
