	Yeah, the program must be mode 700 -- chmod 700 roman

	However, I couldn't get it to run for another reason -- the
operating system which I'm using. It obviously wasn't compiled for Ultrix
(at least, it doesn't work with this version). Maybe it would have been
better to post the source code, rather than a uuencoded binary file.
