[comp.sys.mac.comm] Help needed on decodeing .hqx files

cliu@copper.ucs.indiana.edu (chang hsu liu) (03/01/91)

When I tried to use Binhex 4 to download *.hqx files. Some of the
files got messages below:

1. CRC ($0A48) error
2. CRC ($00EA) error
3. End of file error

What does all these errors mean? How can I decode these files?

Thanx in advance.

I have gotten simmilar errors on files which I later discovered
worked fine with both mcvert, and Stuffit Classic.
 ( stuffit_classit.hqx was one of those by the way. )

:3. End of file error
:

this is usually caused by not properly joining multiple part hqx files
