This usually indicates that something's wrong with your input
file.  For example, your file might have unix end-of-lines (LF)
instead of DOS ones (CR+LF) so the assmble treats it all as one
long line (typically a comment).  Or it might be missing a CR-LF
on the last line.  Or you might have created the file with a word
processor and saved it in some strange format.

Edit your file using the DOS edit command, make sure it's OK,
save it, and try again.
