Fix for the Juggler

[Andy Finkel]

First, I'd like to thank Kim for finding the offending line
in the Juggler. Thanks, Kim. I owe you one.

(To repeat, in file 5 of 8, there was the line
with the string "M<3?Z[G" at the beginning of the line.
On Kim's copy, that line read:

>Here's the entire BAD line (note that it's one character longer than the
>other lines):
>
>M<3?Z[G'7_ 9 " ,.<9_\ $_\84 $@(% !8'!P 6!P< !@0# !8'!P_____Q@H
> ^
> |
> |_____ delete this character (the '7')
>
>
>Your GOOD line should look like:
>
>M<3?Z[G'_ 9 " ,.<9_\ $_\84 $@(% !8'!P 6!P< !@0# !8'!P_____Q@H
>

On my original file, that line reads:

M<3?Z[G'7_ 9 " ,.<9?Z__\84 $@(% !8'!P 6!P< !@0# !8'!P_____Q@H

Also 1 character shorter, but a little different.

Again, thanks, Kim. (I hope that this is the problem that
everyone is having, then I can relax)

------------------
And, after doing this, I can only agree with Kim that uuencode/uudecode
isn't enough for long binaries. Its too easy for transmission errors
to creep in.

Interesting...Kim's fix is not Mike Cherry's. And it worked too!
I think Mike Cherry's fix makes the file correspond to Andy's original.
Seems like we may have several transmission errors, and a curious behaviour
of uudecode in the face of transmission errors (and several subltly different
versions of the juggler floating around).

Does the line-eater own the copyright on the modifications he made to
the original? :-)
