[comp.sys.mac.apps] Is the stuffit-16 on sumex corrupt?

mcguffey@muvms3.bitnet (Michael McGuffey) (01/10/91)

I've tried a few different sources for Stuffit-1.6 (Sumex.stanford.edu 
and comp.binaries.mac).  When I get the binhexed file to my mac I get a
CRC (or is it Checksum) error during the de-binhexing.  I've tried both
ethernet and modem downloading to a mac to get the file.  All attempts
result in the same message.   Is anyone else having a problem with the
binhexed file?  Or should I be looking for another reason for the error?

thanks,

I also had the same problem, however mcvert does not choke on the hqx file.

I have not used mcvert before, and I have not tried to unstuff mcvert's
output yet. ( so I cant say if mcvert handled the error or didn't
even detect it? )
