If a file is being interpreted as US-ASCII, then it is expected to have
no characters with the high bit set. If you edited any source files with an
Unicode editor, it may have changed some of your punctuatiuon to fancy Unicode
versions of that punctuation (e.g. a pair of quotes to "left quote" and "right
quote"), which the interpreter would not understand.
Blind stab: If you save a file as type "UTF-8" on Windows, a BOM will
be inserted as the first character in the file. Make sure you save as ASCII.
HTH,
Mike
