But Lawrence and Eli > both mentioned loading also. 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.
