Jack Waugh has pointed out to me that "echo -n" is understood
by Berkley UN*X only.  This flag prevents a carriage return from
being emitted.  It was used to make the shell script "mkarc"
more readable.  To fix simply replace:

echo -n "sed 's/^	//' > $i << "
echo "'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy'"

by

echo "sed 's/^	//' > $i << 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy'"
