Hi list,

I found the cause. The directory I was attempting to compile in was a 
VirtualPC "shared folder" from a Mac file system. When I used a Windows 
directory (e.g. C:\My Documents\) the problem went away. I should have 
mentioned my runtime environment in the first post.

Thanks again for the replies
