I have a somewhat whacked error.

During compliation, I got an error that stated "Servo.hpp could not be 
opened."  If I changed one letter in the file name  (and modified the 
thwo places it was included) the compliing would work.

I tried several diferrent spellings (ex "SServo.hpp", "Servo_.hpp", 
"Servo.h", "Servo.hp"), and they all worked... but as soon as the file 
was renamed "Servo.hpp", it could no longer be opened.

As a work around, I renamed it "ServoBase.hpp", and I no longer have the 
problem.

Does anyone know what might have been going on?

Specs:
Dual 533 G4, 640Meg RAM, Dual CW 5.3

Note, I keep my project and code files on a seperate partition from my 
apps.  Could this be part of the problem?

Hmmm I'd suspect a unprintable character or space in the file name or in 
where you included it as the most likely problem.  Another common error 
is using the brackets instead of quotes by accident.

I've tried to duplicate this and I couldn't so it is likely just 
something on your system or a type error.

Apparently it was a cosmic alignment of the stars that was the problem.  

Here is what I did to fix it.

Copy the project into a temp location.  Copy "Servo.hpp" into that 
folder.  Make sure the proper includes say "Servo.hpp".  Compiled fine.

Copy Servo.hpp back into the original header folder.  Set the original 
project's include back to "Servo.hpp".  Compiled fine.

Apparently, copying the file and putting it back into the include folder 
fixed the problem.
