Okay I downloaded all nine binhexed parts of the TN stack to my mac. Now how do I decode them -- I thought join would work in stuffit, but these files do not seem to be segmented in that fashion -- I need to do the equivalent of cat parts[1-9] > very_big_file.hqx and then do a decode bin hex I guess. But I don't know how to do the appending of the .hqx files. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Mike Tarr tarr@cs.yale.edu

Set up a file like the following: <<include TN-Stack-part1.hqx>> <<include TN-Stack-part2.hqx>> <<include TN-Stack-part3.hqx>> where << and >> are generated by Option-\ and Shift-Option-\ respectively. Then select Print Merge and print to a new document. This effectively does that cat parts*.hqx > file.hqx that you're looking for. It can be a little slow but I find it easier than copying and pasting the big document together. Of course, you could also run A/UX and type cat parts*.hqx > file.hqx. :) -- Michael Nowak -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bushido Systems mike%bushido.uucp@umich.edu
