Hi Christian,
I checked both files and:
- both files are saved in UTF8 encoding
- both files compile fine without any warning on my system
Can you explain what problems you had with these files?
Is it only that kile and texmaker cannot work with them or do you have
problems compiling the files with latex?

You CAN use plain ascii files, but if you want to key in characters of
your national script (or mine, or anything else which needs more then
ASCII) you have two options:
- use tex commands for your symbols like \ae \"o etc
- use different character encodings
I cannot explain the full details, that would be too long. But your
files are saved in UTF8 which is an international standard and work
quite nice with latex. So no problems here.
As I said, I also could compile the file on my system, and I am sure
that it will work on Windows, too.
So please again, what are the problems you have with these two files?
All the best and a peaceful christmas
Norbert
