A – Notes for Unix/Linux users
There may appear some problems with the startup scripts for Unix/Linux which we will need to fix ASAP. Joe Desbonet describes the problems and how to fix them:

Those unix scripts were always problematic.
- First problem, ZIP archives do not preserve the execute flag. So you need to
chmod a+x ./JUMPWorkbench-unix.sh
- Next problem (which is the one causing your error message) is line termination. Text files end with just LF (ASCII character 10 decimal) in unix-like operating systems. DOS uses CR LF (ASCII character 13, followed by 10 decimal).
One simple way to ‘cleanup’ the script is to create a new file with your favorite editor and cut/paste the content in. Don’t forget to chmod a+x your new file.
- BTW: if you are using Fedora Core 4—note that it comes with a Java VM bundled. This JVM (it’s an opensource clean room implementation—nothing to do with the Sun JVM) is still under development and is not likely to run Jump properly. Use the official Sun JVM.
