He probably used ASCII mode on a Linux PC.  He then ended up with a
Linux text format HQX file which requires the above transformation to
work with executor/linux.

The way to test under Linux is to cat the file.  If it has correct Mac
line endings, it will *not* scroll up the screen, but each line will
overwrite the previous one.
