[comp.sys.mac.misc] Help with mac files compressed with .hqx

esl1_ltd@uhura.cc.rochester.edu (Eric Lambert) (03/30/91)

I'm trying to help out a friend by FTPing some stuff out of the FTP
sites, down to my MS-DOS computer, and then over to his Mac LC via Apple
File Exchange.  Two problems I'm hoping someone might be able to answer
for me:

 1) When I converted over some sound files, I tried to read them with
SoundEdit but I couldn't even read them (SoundEdit wouldn't recognize
them as either file or resource.)  Can someone tell me what program (or
conversion technique) I need to use to read sound files?  They are Mac
sound files.

 2) When I downloaded the files from the FTP sites, they had two
suffixes--<filename>.sit.hqx.  I know that the .sit is Stuffit, but would
anyone be able to tell me what .hqx is and how I can uncompress/get rid
of it?

If you can answer eithe question, I'd appreciate it if you could email it
to me (I don't usually subscribe to this channel.)  Or if you can think
of another newsgroup where this question might be better situated, I'd
appreciate that too.  My address is:

Thanks muchly...
