The fatal-compiler error "C1004: Unexpected EOF" can be caused by
failing to end a line with a <CR>.  On pure C language statements the
compiler ignores white space, but on statements with directives a <CR>
is needed.

This will occur if the following include file is used in a program:

    #include <stdio.h><CR>
    #define YES 1<CR>
    #define NO  0

Without the <CR> after the third line, error C1004 will be produced by
the compiler.
