You can use uudeview to safely extract the archive. There were no
errors in the post.

I just tried. Comment out the lines
#include <io.h>
and the one that mentions _O_BINARY - all files in linux are binary :)

You may also want to remove all carriage returns from the source. In
vim, :%s/^V^M//g will remove them all.

I think that's all I did and it produced a binary - I can't test if it's
working from work but I can't see anything that I commented out causing
problems in Linux.
