	I, too encountered difficulties. I line 669 of one file (it escapes
me at the moment) there were about 9 errors o the first run. They all stemmed
from a badly designed sscanf statement. The typer must have forgotten that
you can extend variable lists across newlines. Change it as such:

		1. Place a newline after the format string
		2. Space the remainder to a logical area under the string
		3. Break the variable list up between lines (please know
		     better than to break a variable name).
		4. Save and try again.

Worked for me.
