lisp problems with 2005

I just upgraded from 2004 to 2005. I have several lisp routines that work fine with 2004 but won't load in 2005. I get

error: malformed list on input

I believe this is a parenthesis error but i checked and the parenthesis are all matched. Also, they work in 2004 so did some commands get redefined, possibly modifying the parenthesis syntax, it's the only thing I can think of but can't find any info. Please HELP!!!

 

Open in Wordpad, if you find any (black box) characters, at
the very end of the file..backspace and delete all these.
Files may have been corrupted - especially if transferred from
Win 98 to XP. I found that to be a problem.
Or, just delete the .lsp and copy in a fresh set.
If they load and run in R2004, they (should) load and run in
R2005 - no changes at all.

I didn't see any black box characters at the end of the file. They might have been converted from win98 to xp but that would have been Atlas 2 years ago. I've tried copying in fresh .lsp but nothing changes.

 

They should all work without modification.
If you post one of them, I'll bet someone will find the problem and that
should lead you to the problem with all of them.
