Correct. I found the following via Google.
"I created a file utf8.rb with this content: C:\>ruby -e "p
File.read('utf8.rb')" "\357\273\277puts \"Hello World\""
The "\357\273\277" part is the Byte Order Mark for UTF-8, my editor
automatically put it at the beginning of the file, because I saved it
as UTF-8."
At least it isn't some evil virus. Have to do Mr. WorkAround now.
Thank you very much for your help Scott and Richard,
John Gage
