While translating the file cdebootstrap, I encountered the following
typos, which I thought you might like to eliminate in a future release.

Original: ⌘0 Couldn't not decompress ${ARG0}!

Do you mean the decompression could not happen? In that case, you
don't need both "n't" and "not": the abbreviation "n't" already means
"not":
"Couldn't decompress..."
or
"Could not decompress..."
This double negative also occurs in this string:

Some similar abbreviations (the apostrophe always removes at least a
vowel):
I have I (ha)ve I've
he has he (ha)s he's or he is - he (i)s - he's
it is it (i)s it's
I am I (a)m I'm
you are you (a)re you're
we had we (ha)d we'd
she will she (wi)ll she'll
