+Cody fixed this to work in linux. The problem was an unknown escape sequence,
+`\N` which caused a funny compiler error:
+
+```c
+};n b[2048];int i
+mikeash.c: In function 'R':
+mikeash.c:7:1: error: '\N' not followed by '{'
+    7 | ;C!='\n';A()

+
+The problem was that in the string above there was a `\Newline` but this is
+invalid C. This was changed to be `\nNewline` and then, because the code is
+supposed to output itself when fed itself, the reference to `'N'` had to be
+updated in both the string and the code to be `'n'`.
+
+The array size of `c` was updated by 1 out of caution just in case as the array
+is used to store at least part of the string.
