The problem was that the text to be decoded was moved from unix to the PC
in IMAGE mode.  Thus the unix NEWLINE character (a LF) was not changed to 
a CR-LF pair.  Please move text files from unix in TEXT mode.

I will change to permit accepting either a LF or a CR-LF as the end-of-line
character in the a future release.  In turbo pascal this will mean that
I will have to change to block reads and break the blocks into lines in
my own code.  Any better suggestions?
