The P5 archive tries very hard to work equally on both Windows and Linux.
Looking at the 1.3 archive, the Linux files weren't correctly set up for li=
nux, which
involves changing the line endings to be correct for that system (the stand=
ard CRLF
or LF only issue between these systems).

We have having rolling blackouts here in CA, so I am delayed fixing this. I=
'll try to fix
the archive by tonight.

 Ok, thanks!

 There is no mention of macOS in the README.
=20
 The README says:

 But that's not true. The doc/ diretory only contains:
=20
 The_Programming_Language_Pascal_1973.pdf
 basic.docx
 iso7185rules.html
 the_p5_compiler.docx
=20
 The_Programming_Language_Pascal_1973.pdf
 is great to have a copy of!
=20
 I used libreoffice to convert to pdf:
=20
 /Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice -env:UserInstallation=
=3Dfile:///tmp/schneidt.lico --headless --convert-to pdf basic.docx

=20
 Oh my. Looks like your documentation may be out of date.
 Is this still beta despite version > 1?
=20
 Convert the other docx:
=20
 /Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice -env:UserInstallation=
=3Dfile:///tmp/schneidt.lico --headless --convert-to pdf the_p5_compiler.do=
cx
=20
 This one is dated August 29, 2014 and on page 14 it says:

=20
 That's no good!

 You have the windows setpath.bat but have not set the permissions on=20
 setpath correctly.
 % chmod u+x setpath
=20
 egg 320% ./configure
 ./configure: Command not found.

 % chmod a+rx configure

 This is really weird.
=20
 Please set it up to work on macOS.
