Caution to those who downloaded BinHex DA v1.0 from comp.binaries.mac! The file unBinHexed and unStuffed okay. Something is wrong with the DA! It would not run on my Mac+ (2.5Megs) running MF. I tried it on a startup disk w/o MF and it bombed the system. Sure sounded like a neat DA. Dick Kriss PLease reply via E-Mail kriss@austin.lockheed.com

Under MultiFinder it acted like it was going to open up (went to the DA Handler and all), but it immediately closed up on me. I tried it under uni-Finder and it bombed with an error ID 2. Does it work only with the 256k ROMS? Just out of curiosity, are there any inits or cdevs that it's known to be incompatible with? I haven't had the time to try and track down whether there might be a conflict there.
