I don't know if this applies to Megamax C or not but it does apply to consulair C and anything else that uses MDS Edit. As has been mentioned several times before, it is relatively/very easy to get invisible characters in your source files with the enter key. The easiest solution I have found to the problem is when mysterious errors occur in lines that appear to be perfectly ok change the font to chicago from monaco. The enter key and other invalid characters will all show up as the missing character (a rectangle.) It is then relatively easy to manually remove them (sure would be nice if there were a way to specify special characters (tabs/enter/return/etc.) to search/replace...) -- David W.
