I have downloaded the most recent source code of the vpe library, and
nasm v0.97 (compiled for djgpp), but when I came to run the makefile an
error occured. I have tested nasm with djgpp (the cofftest program), and
it works ok, and I know djgpp is working ok. Can anyone help me? Please?

Here is the screen dump:
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////
D:\Morton\Compiler\vpe>make
gcc -Wall -m486 -O3 -o draw_cw.o -c draw_cw.c
gcc -Wall -m486 -O3 -o draw_f.o -c draw_f.c
nasm -f coff draw_fan.asm
gcc -Wall -m486 -O3 -o draw_o.o -c draw_o.c
nasm -f coff draw_oan.asm
draw_oan.asm:7: standard COFF does not support section alignment
specification
draw_oan.asm:949: standard COFF does not support section alignment
specification

make.exe: *** [draw_oan.o] Error 1

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I guess that the version of nasm and the version of vpe are
incompatible, but I think (my) human error is more likely :)

Thanks
