Two ideas come to mind.  The first is that I seem to recall that you
must have BASIC.SYSTEM installed before EXECing a file created by the
EXECUTIONER.

I requested the BLU 2.28 file (88-00532) from the LISTSERVer at
BROWNVM and noticed that there are 3 lines of garbage at the end of
the file.  These lines *MUST* be removed.  Delete everything after
the line that says "E00G".  At least the file is in the 4-bit packing
mode so you shouldn't be having problems caused by ASCII/EBCDIC
translations.
