I am sorry if this isn't the right newsgroup for this, but I'm not sure
where else to turn at this point.  Someone went to great effort to help
me obtain the source for AKCL (the base dist and the 1530 release).
Now I'm trying to get it built to use for a class I'm taking (at the
rate I'm going the class will be over before I get this built :-)

Anyway, I'm using cc, not gcc -- and this is the tail end of a 
"make -f Smakefile":

        (cd cmpnew; make all)
        cc -DVOL= -I. -I/usr2/bill/lisp/akcl/o -O  -c   -I../h cmptop.c
"./cmptop.h", line 27: illegal character: 043 (octal)
"./cmptop.h", line 27: cannot recover from earlier errors: goodbye!

akcl/cmpnew/cmptop.h looks like this:
(when reading it in to vi, vi complains of an "incomplete last line."
Looking at it with :set list in vi doesn't show anything funny.


static L1();
static L4();
static L21();
#define VC1 object  V16 ,V15 ,V14 ,V13 ,V11 ,V7 ,V5;
static object LI2();
#define VMB2 register object *base=vs_top; object  V42 ,V40;
#define VMS2  register object *sup=vs_top+10;vs_top=sup;
#define VMV2 vs_check;
#define VMR2(VMT2) {object CMPret2=VMT2;vs_top=base;return(CMPret2);}
static object LI3();
#define VMB3 register object *base=vs_top;
#define VMS3  register object *sup=vs_top+1;vs_top=sup;
#define VMV3 vs_check;
#define VMR3(VMT3) {object CMPret3=VMT3;vs_top=base;return(CMPret3);}
#define VC4
static object LI5();
#define VMB5 register object *base=vs_top;
#define VMS5  register object *sup=vs_top+1;vs_top=sup;
#define VMV5 vs_check;
#define VMR5(VMT5) {object CMPret5=VMT5;vs_top=base;return(CMPret5);}
static object LI6();
#define VMB6 register object *base=vs_top; object  V77;
#define VMS6  register object *sup=vs_top+1;vs_top=sup;
#define VMV6 vs_check;
#define VMR6(VMT6) {object CMPret6=VMT6;vs_top=base;return(CMPret6);}
static object LI7();

------

Has anyone else out there run across anything like this, and what
should I do to correct it?  I think it is unlikely that I got a
corrupt distribution, because it was a tarfile that unpacked correctly.
The person who sent it compiled it on Esix and did not run into this
problem.

Any suggestions on this would be most appreciated (I really hate the
thought of using the VMS machine at school ...)

Thanks in advance!

Bill
