Re: gcc compile problem: error: stray \168 in program

 Nor do I, but let's see what's in that file: can you show us the
output you get from running "od -tx1 test.c" on your testcase
please, and tell us exactly what editor you used.

I personally prefer "od -tx1 -a test.c": it should add ASCII versions of each character, to make it faster to find particular positions.

Also, type "od -tx1" at a command line without any filename
following it, type a quote mark, then press enter, then Ctrl+D, and
show us what that says.

Being ultra-precise: type od -tx1

at a command line, and then press enter.  That will start the "octal
dump" program.  The quote mark (meaning ") and enter is the one line
of input.
