I've been using StuffIt for decoding and decompressing all this Usenet stuff for quite some time now. Quite a few times decoding a Binhexed file produced a "disk related error -39". This made me download the programs to my Mac over and over until I discovered the cause of this error. Well, uh, not really the cause, but the solution to the problem. Maybe it'll be useful to other stuffers as well: As soon as you run into the '-39 error', load the Binhexed document in your favorite wordprocessor and add a simple carriage return in front of the rest of the file. That's all. It cured most of my problems! -- Paul Molenaar "Just checking the walls" - Basil Fawlty -
