PUZ, August 2020

Badir:
When I try this puzzle from yesterday, Friday Aug 14, it says there are extra lines at the end of the file.  I got the last four to work, but can't get this one to go.  Is there something different with it?

I copied it back out and got it to work for myself.  Maybe try copying it again and double-check that you got all the relevant lines and no more and no less?

trauer1282:
Badir, the puzzle source Glen9999 posted for Aug. 14 worked fine for me too. An extra line with just a single blank character in it will cause AcrossLite to return the error message you are getting. So you may have an almost invisible extra line you'll need to remove before opening the file.

Badir:
Thanks!  Yep, that was it: an extra blank line.  I thought I had removed the extra blank line, but I made a new copy and it worked.  When I diffed the two files, the old one had the blank.

I hope I won't be having any more technical issues here!
