I will just throw in a couple more comments to add to those already
made. The main problem with the way you attached this is that it has
modified a lot of the "special" characters, which you normally don't see
because your mail reader has displays them ok. So you should do a "view
source" of what you have attached. For example, it starts out:

|| _W=
IN32_WINDOW > 0x400 */
Notice the "=20", "=3D", and "=<cr>". Not only has the mailer changed
some of the characters, but it has inserted line feeds. For many of us,
all this is invisible. I use Mozilla, and it recreates the file
correctly as long as I Save As... text. But I don't think we should
assume that everyone can do that.
