A few weeks ago somebody asked for assistance with his parse errors. And it 
turned out that he had strange characters (from a Dos /Win view) at the end of 
his lines. I don't know whether these were unix-style and I don't remember 
what the actual character was, but they surely were the source of his parse 
errors. Does anybody remember?
