Try changing the file type parameter or the beginning memory location.
I've found that many of the programs from the listserv (or executioner
in general I suppose) will not run after they are exec'ed.  Often time
the problem is a matter of just changing the beginning address of the
file from $1000 to $2000 or visa-versa.  Just look at a complete CATALOG
to see what it is presently.  Other times it is a matter of changing the
file type from BIN to SYS.  Apparently executioner goofs up a little
when packing a file (or perhaps the translation gets lost in transfer).
Anyways, there is a nice little program on the listserv called Change
File Type which will help you in doing these changes.  Luckily, it execs
just swell.
