Hi!

	Please explain to me somebody why I cann't use in asm sources
(AS compiler distributed with GCC2.8.1)in comments begins with comment 
char # (hash)some characters from higher ASCII table(ASCII value greater 
than 127 ie. 7.bit is set) or how to force the AS compiler to ignore all 
the characters following comment char on one line.
	I got by compiling some asm source following error messages:
Error: Rest of line ignored. First ignored character valued 0xffffffae.

This error has concerned following line in source file:
# Calculate edges(here followed text with national chars from upper ASCII

I figured out that f.e. character with ASCII value 174 ends comment line 
and following chars are treated as a new line of source file.

	I needed to know whats wrong because I need to recompile some
huge sources containing asm comments with chars from upper ASCII table.

				Thx
