Downloaded revision 8443 of Parrot to Windows XP Pro using SVN. When using
'nmake' 7.10.3077, some of the test are failing. According to the
gettingstarted.pod, none of the tests should fail.

Attached is myconfig and the output from 'nmake test' with STDERR at the end
of the file.

Please not this is my first attempt at using Parrot, so its most likely that
I'm missing the obivous.

Thanks, Craig

Fjord.pasm
1 print "He's pining for the fjords. \n"
2 end

Output from various attemts to excute fjord.pasm.

Fjord.pasm - ASCII format

E:\usr\local\parrot-0.2.1-devel\bin>parrot fjord.pasm
error:imcc:syntax error, unexpected EOM, expecting '\n'
in file 'fjord.pasm' line 2

Fjord.pasm - Unicode format

E:\usr\local\parrot-0.2.1-devel\bin>parrot fjord.pasm
error:imcc:syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting PARROT_OP
in file 'fjord.pasm' line 1

README.win32 is more specific - dynclasses are currently broken.

Very linkely missing newline after "end".

Parrot doesn't support non-ascii source files. But you can specify e.g.
unicode strings.
