Sounds like the dsp file may be corrupted - either on your disk, during the download or on the CVS side. The last one is unlikely or more people would be screaming. Rename the file to something else - Torque Demo.bkp for example and go back and do another CVS download. It should only download that single file.

If you have added files to the system then you have more of a challenge. If you copy the file you can look at the file with an ordinary text editor. I would advise only looking at a copy unless you know exactly what you are doing. The read function in Visual C++ is VERY unforgiving if the file gets changed.

If I had added files I would consider taking the original and making a copy, renaming the original and then use CVS to get a fresh version, make a copy of the fresh version and then use a program like WinMerge to compare the two files very carefully. When I thought I had made all the changes I would rename the files so that my edited copy was the new version and go with that.

If it still fails I would go back to the CVS get a new version and re-add the files using the information from the previous Winmerge operation to tell me what files need to be added.
