Ulf,

I'm using MSVC 2005 Express edition.
I got the error message below after running "nmake -f  Makefile.nmake 
all" at the command prompt (cmd.exe)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 8.00.50727.42

       bison  -d -p ascend ascend-grammar.y -o ascend-grammar.c
C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin\bison.EXE: m4: Invalid argument

Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio

Stop.

Looks like that the argument was invalid by Bison.

My version of Bison:
