Try the version at:

It's directly from the author, Todd Whitesel and it works. Too many other 
copies are floating around on archives and are defective. Ours was too 
until we got a good copy directly from the author through one of our 
members.

Unix does a number on Apple programs if the system isn't set up to allow 
for text and binary programs. Our system is fixed now but I suspect other 
systems out there are having problems too. The Unix system corrupts the 
files by replacing CRs with CR-LFs. The defaults on these systems are 
usually set up for MS-DOS and not Apple.
