Watcom compile error for certain file names

Hello Rob,

it looks as if there is a bug in the Eu2C translator 2.5, or in the Open
Watcom 1.3 C compiler. Please note that the problem doesn't seem to
depend on the content of the Euphoria source file, but only on its name.

The following code compiles fine:

----------------------------[ test.ex ]-------------------------------
puts(1, "Hello world!\n\nPress Enter ...")
if getc(0) then end if
----------------------------------------------------------------------

when using
    ec -wat ...
or
   ecw -wat ...

But after renaming the file e.g. to "test(1).ex", both commands can't be
used anymore for compiling.

I did not encounter this problem using DJGPP on DOS or the Borland
compiler on Windows (LCC not tested, and nothing tested on Linux/FreeBSD).
It would be nice if this problem could be fixed.

Regards,
   Juergen
