When I use sbTeX v.29 to TeX a file which has control
characters, such as the following line:

{\btam  2 a 2 [...]

I get the message, 

!Text line contains invalid character.
l.21 ^^? (etc., etc.)

This file is processed fine on UNIX TeX. I need to control characters
as an intermediate step between an input file and output. Can
anyone tell me what's wrong? Does sbTeX30 fix this?

Please email to mani@sybase.com or post replies. Thanks.
