The MSC 'cl' program is VERY picky about certain items.  One of the things that
must be present is the .c file extension on filenames.  You should try the
following:

  cl /Fa demo.c

and see if that solves your problem.  I think I normally use /Fc to get a
mixed output listing just so I can see what is going on.  If I really need
just the asm output, then /Fa is appropriate.
