No, I said visiting with "C-x C-f". And your original report said:
Library vline.el can be read fine in Emacs 22, but Emacs 23 raises an
error, saying Invalid read syntax: "?".
It said nothing about evaluating it.
Anyway, does the problem go away if you visit the file with
"C-x RET c utf-8 RET C-x C-f vline.el RET"
before evaluating it?
If this does the trick, then please talk to the author and ask him to
include an explicit coding: cookie in the file.
