Hello, I am looking for StuffIt and BinHex. On the wuarchive ftp site there are both programs, but each ends with a .sit Does that mean that they are in StuffIt encoded format? Where does one get a non-stuffed StuffIt through ftp? Thanks, Jay Field The Research Libraries Group, Inc. bitnet: br.jwf@rlg.bitnet internet: br.jwf@rlg.stanford.edu phonenet: (415) 691-2215

How to beat the catch-22: To begin at the beginning, get /info-mac/util/binhex4.bin by anonymous ftp in BINARY mode. Then, set the filetype to ASCII and get /info-mac/util/unstuffit-deluxe-20.hqx. Use any terminal emulator that recognizes MacBinary files (most do) to download BinHex 4.0 to your Mac. Download unstuffit-deluxe-20.hqx and unBinHex it with the "DownLoad --> Application" command. That accomplished, the rest of the net archives are easy. Bill (johnston@minnie.me.udel.edu)

I apologize for the follow-up on my own answer to a novice question, but I got mail complaining that my "solution to the net.catch-22" omitted the net address of the sumex archives that I referred to. >>Where does one get a non-stuffed StuffIt through ftp? >How to beat the catch-22: FTP to sumex-aim.stanford.edu [36.44.0.6], and then: To begin at the beginning, get /info-mac/util/binhex4.bin by anonymous ftp in BINARY mode.
