May I suggest adding a "break;" statement as the "default:" action? The
compiler is probably expecting a C expression (ie something that ends
with a semicolon) and finding the "end switch" brace bracket instead.
Besides, it is good programming practice to always include a break
statement for the default case.

And, in general, please do not remove legitimate code from the CVS
source files. If there is a bug in a particular compiler that it cannot
parse legitimate ANSI C code, then a FAQ should be created for that
compiler with a work around solution. We should not change legitimate
code in the source files for a compiler or system bug.
