awk: DecisionsDecisions.awk:1: BEGIN {c=6}
awk: DecisionsDecisions.awk:1: ^ invalid char 'Ã¯' in expression

The original upload contained an invisible leading character. AFAIK, the current zipped file should yield a "clean" version. I had taken the old file, re-edited in vi, saved, ran from command line and zipped it up. I also just tried copying from the source box and pasting into a fresh file, and that also worked (at least in my situation under OS X10.5.8)

That was kind of fun, but I couldn't download it - I got "no route to host." So I ended up copying and pasting the source code again. I'm not sure if I would have gotten it otherwise.
