refused to count!).Everything seems fine,but....Can any one give me a clue?
Thanks.

I would hazard a guess that the source file contains some dodgy character or
sequence of characters (which are invisible to the eye) at the end of each
line, which is confusing the hell out of the compiler. Try cutting and
pasting each line SEPARATELY, being careful to only extend the selection you
cut to the last VISIBLE character, into a fresh file (I hope your code isn't
too long in this file), then recompile. Alternatively, use some noddy little
program to scan the lines of the source file and strip off any non-printing
characters from the end of each line (but to put a genuine "\r\n" at the
end, so that the lines still come out on separate physical lines!).

Does this help?
