I had this very same problem...tried to UnBinHex stuff, got a dastardly disk-based error (-39) that I'd never seen before, etc. However, I figured it out! After playing around with it for a few more minutes, I found that if there was at least three lines of non-BinHex text before and after the file, then it would be acceptable and everything would work out happily. I never had the archiving problems, though, as I "Stuffed" 400K worth of "Stuff" into 191K. That was fun. acl {ihnp4,backbones}!ucbvax!bartleby.berkeley.edu!alexlau "I DON'T NEED TO LOWER MY VOICE!
