Re: How to Debug Parse Errors

[Richard Grubb]

My problem has been resolved. The line endings were messed up. On my 
machine, I don't have dos2unix, but I do have dosunix which the man page 
said should do the same translation. Except in this case, it removed all 
line endings (plus some characters in column 1 and most of the ending 
'}'s ). I had to reinsert all of the line endings and missing characters 
with Nedit.

Then ly2dvi processed the file properly. LaTex barffed on the <8A> 
character, but I just replaced it with an 'a' and everything processed 
properly.

I guess I'll have to unzip and untar the source code to get good copies 
of example files instead of saving them from the web site through my 
browser.
