SYMPTOMS
========

Compiling with insufficient disk may generate the following error message:

  

  fatal error C1001: INTERNAL COMPILER ERROR
               (compiler file 'msc1.cpp', line 602)
  Please choose the Technical Support command on the Visual

  more information.

CAUSE
=====

Lack of available disk space for the generation of various intermediate,
listing, and object files by the compiler causes the above error.

RESOLUTION
==========

Check for the available disk space when starting the compilation process; it
should be large enough for all the intermediate, listing, and object files to be
generated by the compiler.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the products listed at the
beginning of this article. This problem was corrected in Visual C++ version 2.0.
