SUMMARY
The Basic compiler (BC.EXE) will not compile any source file with a
name of USER.* (e.g. USER.BAS, USER.TXT, etc.). Instead, it will take
input from the console and report any errors on each line as they are
entered. BC.EXE will create an object file only if a name other than
USER.OBJ is specified.
The filename USER is a special filename reserved for compiling files
that are entered directly from the console instead of from a file.
Thus, if you have a file that is named USER.BAS, BC.EXE will not
compile it.
To work around this limitation, rename your Basic file to something
other than USER.BAS.
