Did they use sane or Windows-style newlines? Windows-style line endings are not supported everywhere.

Edit:
Variable-width handwriting is no longer considered a best practice and has been deprecated for a while. If the program did not compile with sane line endings, try rewriting the program in monospace, as support for legacy handwriting styles may have been dropped from non-LTS compiler releases.
