I'm using phpslash 0.71 with the latest Mozilla 1.3 build for debian 
unstable.

phplib that came with the phpslash 0.71 release. (phplib 0.7d ? ). php 4.3 
and php 4.1.2 both do exactly the same (two different instalations).

The code I'm trying to publish is here:
ftp://ftp.latinomixed.com/downloads/pixdir2html.pl.gz

The only thing I did to that code was to run "cat -n" and save this as a 
.txt file with line numbers like this:
gunzip pixdir2html.pl.gz
cat -n pixdir2html.pl > pixdir2html.pl.txt

And then try to use the resulting .txt file to make a new story.

I placed a screenshot of a preview story here:
http://www.latinomixed.com/story-preview-screenshot.jpg

Note that this screenshot shows only the first page of the page, the page is 
a lot longer than this, and it's all garble all the way up to the end. Let 
me know if you want to see more of the screen so that I can make more 
screenshots.
