Hi Danko,
Just to check, were the source files ever edited in some other editor or by
someone else using some other editor? I'm thinking that those characters
could have been inserted by something other than the CodeWarrior IDE.
Especially if the files were edited in something like MS Word :-)
Let me know.
Rgds,
