I have recently downloaded elm as distributed on comp.sources.unix.
When I unshared these files ('sh pnn') many source lines, particularly
text strings, were broken into two lines.  This causes trouble when I
try to compile. I had a similar problem with the Byte unix benchmarks.
I am running SCO Unix V/386 and I have confirmed that ISC Unix (Not 2.2
or whatever is the latest) does the same thing.

Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem? (A previous post to
comp.unix.questions drew zero response)

Thanks for the help.
