The problem seems to be that the code relies on being
able to do a 'translate' on a matrix, which doesn't seem to work under NeWS.

Well, actually it works fine - it will read from stdin, just not the
way you want it to.  The problem is that your code is not going
directly to the translator but is being stored in an executable
array in between.  When the read is executed, the code has finished
reading in and you're reading from the end of the file.
You must use psh instead.

I didn't email because there is no solution as far as I can tell.
