0x2a2f converted to ascii is /*, probably the first two characters of the
file being compiled.  This funny message is a symptom of mixing djgpp files
from different releases.  Check first whether you have an old version of GO32
on your path by typing GO32 with no args.  Recent releases will print out a
release number; older releases may crash with no args.  Recent releases of
GO32 also check whether the file being run needs a newer version of GO32 and
produce a more useful error message.
