[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Problems with Quick C

I recently tried compiling a large program with the command line
version of Quick C (version 1.01). I have two problems that I
don't have when using MSC 5.1. These are:

1) When error messages are found, all I see is something like

filename(linenumber): errornumber

I don't see the text that says what this message is. If I compile
the identical program using the Quick-C environment (the Mac-like
window environment) then I see the error message.

2) When this program compiles correctly an empty object file is
generated. This is an object file containing 0 bytes (as shown by
the DIR command). This happens even though no error messages
of any kind were produced by the compiler. Again note the using
CL works fine with the identical program.

Does anyone have any ideas about what might be causing this?
