Hi Walmes

Thank you very much. That appears to be the problem.
When I typed from the DOS terminal

R CMD Sweave --encoding=utf-8 ParasiteComb12.Rnw

it compiled the tex file without any error messages.

I have not really got into font encoding and 
reading the Sweave manual I thought that what I had done would be sufficient.

I found an old note which gave a reference to
http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e10/help/10/05/4725.html
http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e10/help/10/05/4889.html
but that appears to be specific.

The ?Sweave and the Sweave manual appear to be 
more specific about the latex side.

After having a look at iconvlist()  and bearing 
in mind Duncan Murdoch's comments about windows I tried

Sweave("D:/Cic/Sweave/Parasite/Comb/12/ParasiteComb12.Rnw", 
encoding = "UTF-8")

from the Rgui command window and compiled without any problems
When I had a look at the tex file there were a 
few DOS Alt-248 (degree symbol ) within latex 
comments which were added last running R2.14 before updating

Removing them and re running without the encoding 
argument brought things back to normal.

I tried as a test
\SweaveOpts{encoding="UTF8"}
but that appears not to work

All I have to do now is to put the extra argument 
into my text editors clip library for Sweave for 
next time when I cannot solve things.
Its been a long week !

Regards

Duncan
