What kind of problems are these? The Linux version seems to compile
sample.hug alright, but I won't know until I get HE working. If it is
working, and I got the same version as everyone else, maybe it's a problem
with interpretation of CR/LF at the end of the lines. I got it in binary
mode... maybe those with problems got it with ASCII mode. If that's not
the case, maybe it works because Linux only expects a \n (LF) at the end
of the lines, but dos expects \r\n (CRLF).
