Something is probably screwed up with your DEF file.  Make sure that you
follow the header stuff EXACTLY.  Use TABS to indent.  The mkvab
utility is very very picky.

After you've made sure everything is okay, run mkvab.  Then go one
step further: extract the header.  Do something like:

	mkvab -r -o TEST.DEF MYVAB.VAB

Now, check the TEST.DEF file and make sure that it looks very close
to the original .DEF file you created.  If TEST.DEF has weird things
in it or is 0, then you know you screwed up.

Some things I noticed about the DEF file you posted:

  In the VagAtr 0 0 section:
	- set "prior = 127"
	- set "center = 90"
	- put a blank line after "vag = 1"

  In the vsize section:
	- take all of that out.  completely.  it will be generated for
	  you.

Try that and let us know if it works...
