Did you unzip the distribution using winzip ? I had a similar problem using
winzip which put two extra characters at the start of the linker options
file.

I don't think you can extract the files using winzip. I had more success
unzipping the files under VMS using INFO-ZIP (get the binaries from the
Compaq Freeware CD -
