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.
