Looks like it.

    Ok Now some exaplaining. I use the card reader to load the text file 
into simh and then into VMS. Take note, Now this is off the top of my head. 
I am at a laptop now without VMS access.

set cr enable
at -a cr list // PAK file.
set cr translation=029
b cpu

Ok and then in VMS I set the card reader. This is really a worthwhile 
endeavor.

alloc cra0:
set card_reader cra0:/029
copy cra0: license.com

The cra0: finishes and I have to interrupt. But the file is there. I type 
@license.com and get a lines full of errors. I've logged it but I don't have 
access right now. I've tried so many things I'm waiting for someone to 
pinpoint something so I can explain in detail. You hit the nail on the head.

    I typed the file and some lines that began with

$ or
$!

Were changed to
[
a left bracket. It is very possible that there have been attributes altered. 
I already have a .com file and creating a new one and copying would not 
help.
