Thanks for all the help folks.  The problem turned out to be that the
file from the Executioner was created as a BIN file at A$1000 rather than
a SYS file at A$2000.  I checked the text file I downloaded, and the
text file specifies a save at A$1000 and then the E00G.

Why's it say this?

Anyway, I got the file working by doing the following.

1) Download and exec the file.
   a) if it creates a SYS file you're probably ok
   b) if it creates a BIN file continue

2) at the basic prompt type

]create binscii,tsys

]bload binscii1.0.2,a$2000
]bsave binscii,tsys,a$2000,l3640

That will change it to a SYS file that should work, at least it worked
for me.  BinSCII seems to be working fine, now.  Check the length in the
bsave statement with a catalog first, because 3640 is from memory (I'm
pretty sure it's right, but no point in not being safe, right?)

Thanks again.
