I have BinHex 5.0 on my Mac+. I told it to convert an application to an
upload. I expected the kind of binhexed file I have seen posted to the
net, containing only printing characters and lines less than 80
characters long. What I got was a file with type TEXT and creator BnHq,
containing garbage characters, which I assume is MacBinary format. How
do I create an hqx file that I can post? I thought that this was one of
the purposes of BinHex. Do I have to find a copy of BinHex 4.0 to do
this? I assumed that 5.0 was upward compatible with 4.0.

[Line-Eater? What Line-Eater? *Chomp* 8-) ] Organization: Carnegie-Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pa. Position: Confused Undergraduate You are right... you need BinHex 4.0 to convert a binary file to ASCII for uploading. BinHex 5.0 is only upwardly compatible for un-binhexing the files... So now you can use your BinHex 5.0 to unconvert the BinHex 4.0.... 8-) Richard M.
