I'm trying to compile a simple Win32 program and I've been getting
a strange error.  Here's the command line I'm using:

   dmc swp -mn -WA  c:\dm\lib\gdi32.lib

where swp.cpp is the name of the source file.  When I execute this
command, the compiler generates this:

   swp.cpp:



I have no idea why it's doing this.  Does anyone have any ideas?

Any ideas?

That makes me suspect weird things are in your PATH, or LIB.

I suggest looking at the PATH or LIB environment variable to see if it 
has funny characters in it. Also the sc.ini file.
