Oh man, been there done that.

The problem is that the original file has line feed instructions that
need to be converted.

There's a long story here about my battle to get FrEdWriter working
and encountering the exact issue:

Long of the short:  on your OS 9 Mac, open the binscii file in a text
editor like bbedit, "select all" in the document and change the line
endings to Carriage Feeds instead of the Line Feeds that the binscii
archive available is currently encoded in.The file will then exec
properly, like FrEdWriter did for me.
