YAO... (Yet Another Oddity)
The -dY option does not copy the source to the standard error device.  The
only thing that is displayed on the screen are the errors I sent before with
two minor exceptions:  there is a blank line after the 'Invalid #line' line;
and the line immediately after the blank line starts with a 'p'.  That line
now reads: 

p/tmp/cca00292.i:2: warning: missing program header

I am just guessing but is it possible that the intermediate files are not
being written to the /tmp directory?

A few things I checked...
  permissions in that directory
  disk space (only 54% used as reported by 'df')
  tried compiling as 'root' with same results
  untarred GPC ver 2, works fine ( tried swapping versions several times)
  can compile just about everything with GCC
  checked GCC version (2.7.2.1)
  De-Installed/Re-Installed Linux
  tried gpc -da t1.pas  -  many empty files and same errors

Things I havn't tried
  using a different kernel version
  recompiling GPC myself ( Company network is torn apart & Linux is not
on-line )
  pentium motherboard (may do that this week but don't think this will help)

I plan on looking at it heavily today since tomorrow starts a VERY busy two
weeks here at work.  If I notice anything, I will post it.

TNX for all the help!
