Hi and welcome.

I have no idea, what newcs actually does.

But apparently, it is a shell script, that has been edited and saved with windows style line feeds.
Save it with unix style line feeds and the script might execute further.

Try this:

cp -a /bin/newcs ~/newcs_backup
awk '{ sub(/\r$/,""); print }' ~/newcs_backup > /bin/newcs

[GameFrame]

tr -d '\r' < path/to/newcss > newcs.backup ; mv newcs.backup newcs

Perl method:

nano -w dos2unix

add:

#!/usr/bin/perl -pi
s/\r\n/\n/;

save --> chmod 755 dos2unix

dos2unix filename

Perl method is more flexible as you have no need to play with temp files.
