Forgot to say, the /tui file in question has this at line 3: c \thisisbytesequence{^^G^^[#} which certainly does look a bit funny. Duncan

I'm running the latest beta on top of a TeXlive 2003 install on linux. The job I'm currently running needs various tables of contents (and a set of bookmarks) but texutil (v. 8.2) seems to be choking on the .tui file at the very end of the run with this message:

As you can see, as a result of the UTF-8 errors the .tui file isn't being successfully read, so I'm getting no register entries and hence no tables of contents ( or bookmarks).

I'm in the process of composing a minimal example file, but it's tough going and I wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction from the information in the error message.

I'd be really grateful! (Impossible deadlines approach...)

in cont-new (or cont-sys) you can say: \def\testbytesequence{} This 'test' was added in order to determine of tex runs in 8 bit mode. I wonder where the Malformed message comes from. Since when is perl utf-8 by default?
