Yes.  See the following transcript of a session.  I created a small
script named "bad" which just does "date" to show that it worked.

iota: try 1109$ ./bad
: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
iota: try 1110$ cat bad
#!/bin/sh
date
iota: try 1111$ od -c bad

iota: try 1112$

Note that there is a '\r' character at the end of the #! line.
