Tested on Windows XP, with two different results depending on the console  
used. If the resulting program is run in the classic console  
(CMD.exe/COMMAND.com), it outputs a capital letter A with a diaeresis  
(OK). If the program in launched in a PowerShell console (also available  
for Windows XP), then it output a long-dash instead (PS prefers UTF-16).

What the complier produce is OK.
