- AHA! I know the cause of that! That's because the file has DOS
- or Unix line termination and not Mac file termination. If you are
- running the Linux version, you can convert them easily:
-
- tr '\012' '\015' < crashing.sit.hqx > no-crash.sit.hqx
-
- This may not be a problem with DOS line termination which as the CR
- the Mac requires. Linux does not.
