I just copied both of the code samples that you gave and pasted them 
both into Dev-C++.  They both compiled and ran just fine.

However, the error message you're getting makes it sound like you've 
got a stray ascii character in the text file. Octal 204 is the =E4 
character (if that came across.)  I don't see that character in the 
examples you listed.  Are you sure the code samples are exactly what 
you're trying to compile?
