[comp.sys.mac.apps] Problems converting DarkSide binhex files

ralph@world.std.com (Ralph Lombreglia) (12/21/90)

Would anyone happen to know why the 7 binhexed parts of the free
screensaver app DarkSide (recently in comp.binaries.mac) will not
decode with StuffIt 1.6?  I get unexpected eof on all of them.
Replies can be mailed, unless there *is* indeed a problem with the
files that all should know about.  Success or failure stories on
decoding these files?  Thanks.

I successfully joined, unBinHexed, and unStuffed (or was it unCompacted) the 7
parts. However, I had to strip out the headers from each part before doing so.
Make sure before you unBinHex, that you have one continuous text file starting
with the line: (This file must be converted with BinHex 4.0). The next line
must begin with a colon and the file must also end with a colon.
Incidentally, DarkSide doesn't work with System 7.0b1.
