Yep.  When I extracted the part that contained do_wear.c, I got a
message that do_wear.c was extracted with the wrong size.  An "ls -l"
revealed that it was one extra byte in size.  Later, when I compiled
it, I found it ... the ^M (or ^J ?) between the c and t in the word
'struct'.  Just join the two lines and it'll compile just fine.
