I've just switched to MSVC++ 1.51 from Borland 4.5.  
Does anyone know why the #defines in the following code generate
a compiler error???!!!

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

#ifndef DISPLAY_DEFINED
#define DISPLAY_DEFINED

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <iostream.h>

class Display
{
  public:

    virtual void ShowLine( int ) = 0;
    virtual void ShowLine( unsigned int ) = 0;
    virtual void ShowLine( unsigned long ) = 0;
    virtual void ShowLine( long ) = 0;
    virtual void ShowLine( char ) = 0;
    virtual void ShowLine( char * ) = 0;
    

};


class DosDisplay : public Display
{
  public:

    void ShowLine( int i) { cout <<  i; }

    void ShowLine( unsigned int i) { cout << i << endl; }
    void ShowLine( unsigned long l) { cout << l << endl; }
    void ShowLine( long l) { cout << l << endl; }
    void ShowLine( char c) { cout << c << endl; }
    void ShowLine( char * s) { cout << s << endl; }

};

#endif
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

When this is included in a .cpp file, and I try to compile that
file (or build a project with it) I get the following 
compiler error message:

	Error C1004: Unexpected end of file found

which is pointing at the #endif.  This file (and the entire
build of which it is a part) compiles/links with no 
problems under Borland 4.5.

I post this message, because I have run into this problem
frequently while developing MFC-based projects as well.  I
have been using the 
	
	#ifndef SOMEHEADERFILENAME
	#define SOMEHEADERFILENAME
	class someClass {
		// blah.
	};
	#endif

under Gnu C++ compilers as well as Borland without ever having
a problem.  The situation becomes bizarre when I get the same
error with the preprocessor defs commented out!

I suspect there is some kind of M$ft voodoo afoot which I
must have missed somewhere along the line.  Anyone know
anything about this?
