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'"
