Does anyone know why the following error message is occuring when I
attempt to compile and link a simple C program using Microsoft's
CL.EXE (version 5.1):

   unrecognized switch error:  "NOI"

The error message occurs as the linking process is starting up.
I've tried installing the compiler on serveral different 286's using
the same installation steps, and the error will only occur on one of
the machines.  

The switch is /NOI[GNORECASE] which allows case sensativity in the
symbol names.

The command line used to compile looks like:

   cl prog.c graphics.lib

Thanks in advance,
