MOre than once I have tried compiling C source on linux, using gcc, that generated alot of error messages, including many concerning backslashes at the ends of lines. An example is an existing ghostscript driver for the HP850C Deskjet into ghostscript. The main problem I had was with this source code, that I suspected was developed on MSDOG or OS/2. It had a lot of "^M" like characters in it.
Can anyone provide the slightest clue? What's special about MSDOG source code files that would result in many error messages? At least a clue, otherwise, what I tried to do was delete all "^M" chars and all backslashes at the ends of lines. Even this wasn't enough. Thanks for any clude. Any.
