I dont know what .hqx format is and I dont know where I can pick un and un
compresser. Any help would be great. Please E Mail me back. Thanx

>(Question about FTPing Mac software and about the .hqx format) .hqx is a "BinHex"ed file. (don't ask me how they got "hqx" from "BinHex...) The easiest way to un-BinHex a file is to use Stuffit. Stuffit version 1.5.1 has a "Decode BinHex file" option. The reason to use Stuffit is that the file you get after unBinHexing is often a Stuffed file, so you will need Stuffit anyway--easier to load one application than two! ;-) Kurt -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- || Kurt Tappe (215) 363-9485 || With.
