Hi ayster,
I think I found the solution:
When generating an ascii-file in Notepad, it seems that by default Notepad saves the ascii file with CRLF-Returns, while a standard Linux Ascii-file has different line escapes. This ultimatly leeds to problems in my tools.
I usually work under Linux when generating ASCII-files - so I never noticed how notepad might screw up things.
To solve, please install a tool called "dos2unix" (it's usually in the Linux repositories) on you linux box and then use it to transform the line escapes from Windows to Linux-format.
The scripts will then work afterwards :)
Oh, I also noticed, that you need to change your "end"-command to a captial "E":
<e|0> should be <E|0>
