Hello,

I have a problem with french accents :

camlc -c lexical_analyzer.ml

File "lexical_analyzer.ml", line 48, characters 34-38:
 >       [< '(`A`..`Z` | `a`..`z` | `é` | `è` | `_` as c ) >] ->
 >                                               ^^^^
Ill-formed character literal.

What can I do ?

Check that the encoding of your file is ISO 8859-1 (latin1), see  
there [1].

Are you sure the problem comes with French accents?

Also keep in mind that in UTF-8, 'é' is two bytes, so it is not a valid 
character literal.
