Harold,

I don't have any experience with embedded C compilers and this is a
puzzling problem, but on DOS and windows C compilers, an include statement
with <> symbols around the filename indicates to the preprocessor that the
header file is to be found in the default include directory, whereas an
include statement with "" allows one to specify an external path to a
header file. It is also possible that the directive "list=" is the same as
your include statement, since the compiler may actually use the header file
as the sole means of differentiating between processors. Try using the
include statement with quotes, and if that doesn't work, try commenting out
the "list=" command and just leave  the include statement with quotes.

Good Luck,

Sean
