Maybe you *should* be using gcc. Your cc would be correct in complaining about 
charracter \201
*outside* of a string, it's not in the C language,... but *inside* a string, 
it's quite valid, and means
the character octal 201 (decimal 129), which shouldn't worry it any. Like I 
said, look *hard* into
trying gcc ;-) Didn't know there are other K'towners on this list btw ;-)
