Help with Definition file

[dalinius at s-way.com]

I am having trouble converting my definition file into a run time
file. When I run abdef I get the following message: ERROR - line #42 -
unexpected data past end of line. Can anyone tell me what might be
wrong. I have checked my defenition file and cannot find anything. I
counted down to line #42 in the file and nothing seems to be
different with it compared to other lines. Is there something that I
am missing that I should be looking for? Any help will be appreciated.

Every now and then, some text editors will insert a character that is
non-printing and is rendered invisible. I have run into this once or twice
a year for almost 20 years, and I have yet to figure out how or why this
happens. I realize it's due to my flailing fingers hitting the wrong
key somewhere, but I can't figure out which one. Once inserted, the
invisible character causes the C compiler to barf on the file. But the
problem can't be edited out because the problem-causing character can't be
seen. :-(

The only solution I've found has been to delete the offending line and
re-enter it. Sometimes, the problem is actually on the preceeding or
following line, so I end up needing to delete and replace an extra line
above or below the line that was identified by the compiler. I recommend
trying this approach with the definition file you're editing. I'd be
willing to guess it's the same stupid problem.

It's quite prophetic that the offending line is line #42, eh??? :->

Hope this helps,
Rob
