[fa.info-mac] HEX vs. HCX files

info-mac@uw-beaver (01/25/85)

From: Ted Markowitz <G.TJM@SU-SCORE.ARPA>

I've downloaded BINHEX.BAS to my Mac and tried to created applications
from both these types of files. BINHEX doesn't complain (save that none
seem to have a checksum), but the applications blow up every time even though
it determines that they're MacWrite, etc.

I used FTP and then MacTerminal 1.1 with MODEM on a -20 to download the
files. I use XMODEM protocol with OTHER and RETAIN LINE BREAKS. By the
way, what's the difference between HCX and HEX format? Thanks for any
info.
