I'm using MPLAB 3.12 on a 75MHz Pentium running Win95.
Entering code directly into the editor works fine. But
I have never been able to get anything to compile
without errors when it's imported via the "edit project"
window. This is true even though the asm file is saved as
text only.

There seem to be two cases, with different types of errors.
In one case, the error file shows
108 "Illegal character" (followed by an empty parentheses)
and 125 "Illegal condition" EOF (even though there is no
character visible at that position); and 131 "Processor
type is undefined" (but it's in the include file).

In the other case, it usually chokes on every line, with a
Warning 205
"Found directive in column 1" and an
error code 122 "Illegal opcode".

I have a much older machine that's successfully running MPASM
and programming parts with a PicStart 16B. If I copy one of
those asm files and try to use it in MPLAB, one of the
above problems will happen when I select "Build All" in the
project menu.

Anybody have an idea what's going wrong?
