Hi All,
	Having just downloaded and setup version 2 of the compiler I 
tried to compile the latest version of our game and came up with
one very interesting (and frustrating problem).

	It comes down to this, any file I make (normal c, header file or
even GAS .s files) I get the error (roughly)

parse error line x before character 032

	Now if the file is say 1 line something like

#define	NOWT	0

	and I have another file

#include "nowt.h"

main()
{
	int x=NOWT;

	x++;
}

I get 2 errors,

in file included at line 1  (something like this anyhow)
nowt.h: parse error line 2 before character 032
test.c: parse error line 9 before character 032

Now in my games code I include another persons header file which causes
no problems at all. Please give me a clue as to what the hell is going on.
The only thing I can think of is that the PC ASCII format (cr and lf) could
be causing problems, but why does this not cause problems elsewhere in
the code?

Many thanks,
