Bests.

Hi Walmes
Thank you very much. That appears to be the problem.
When I typed from the DOS terminal
R CMD Sweave --encoding=utf-8 ParasiteComb12.Rnw
it compiled the tex file without any error messages.
I have not really got into font encoding and
reading the Sweave manual I thought that what I had done would be sufficient.
I found an old note which gave a reference to
http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e10/help/10/05/4725.html
http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e10/help/10/05/4889.html
but that appears to be specific.
The ?Sweave and the Sweave manual appear to be
more specific about the latex side.
After having a look at iconvlist() and bearing
in mind Duncan Murdoch's comments about windows I tried
Sweave("D:/Cic/Sweave/Parasite/Comb/12/ParasiteComb12.Rnw",
encoding = "UTF-8")
from the Rgui command window and compiled without any problems
When I had a look at the tex file there were a
few DOS Alt-248 (degree symbol ) within latex
comments which were added last running R2.14 before updating
That doesn't sound like UTF-8 encoding, it sounds like Latin-1. So
declaring it to be UTF-8 will eventually cause you some problems, when
you put some of those characters in a place that LaTeX processes. You
can avoid the problem by putting this line in your Rnw file:
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
as the ?Sweave help page says. Or, just delete those non-ASCII
characters. There's a function in the tools package to detect them:
see ?tools::showNonASCII.

Removing them and re running without the encoding
argument brought things back to normal.
I tried as a test
\SweaveOpts{encoding="UTF8"}
but that appears not to work
All I have to do now is to put the extra argument
into my text editors clip library for Sweave for
next time when I cannot solve things.
Its been a long week !

Duncan
