I am using Megamax C 2.1 and am having all kinds of problems with
a bloody include file.  This code compiles on 5 other C compilers
on Vaxes, 2 different 68K Unix boxes, and under 2 different MS-DOS
compilers.  The offending line reads

	#include "instr.h"

It claims:

"Src Disk:mumble1.c", line 25: Can't find include file Src Disk:instr.h

Well, it is certainly there.  I even tried a different short program
"foo.c" which reads

	#include "instr.h"

and get no complaints.  Further, several other files generate this complaint
(each one that includes "instr.h").  The include is actually bracketed
with an 
	#ifndef INSTRdefined
	#include "instr.h"
	#endif

I thought there might be  mutual recursion problem but (1) none of the
other compilers found it and (2) a different test program correctly
diagnosed mutually recursive include files.  

I went out to the finder and made a copy, threw away the original, and
then renamed the copy to instr.h, all to no avail.

This is more that a little annoying.  Why is it so damnably difficult
to get anything done??
