Is this the mail with the hobbyist PAKs ?

What is the source for your copy/paste operation?

It it is your email client environment, I'd tried
to first make a copy into a Notepad window and make
sure that the format is the correct line-by-line.
Then do the copy/paste from Notepad to Putty.

I usualy copy it using Putty by doing a $ CREATE LIC-FILE.COM first
and then letting Putty write the file and finish of with a ctrl-Z.

Then one can run the COM file directly or edit it, if needed.
