[comp.sys.mac.misc] BinHex Help

Hello,

	I just took my first mac out of the box. I have been a 
unix user for a while, but I can't figure this problem out.

I FTP'd to two sites and got two files called binhex.macbinary
I transfered these files to an MSDOS machine, and copied them to 
3.5 floppy. I then took the floppy to the mac, used the FileExchange
utility and selected just the default translation. The resulting file on
the mac is not executable.

How do I get these binaries to be executable?
