I have the following MAC files and I don't know how to get them back to
their original format.

89238 Jan 24 20:02 command-line-interface.hqx
6981 Jan 24 20:01 welcome-editor.hqx
the first file is the main one i need to look at, I have access to
Stuffit 1.5.1 but it can't recognise this file ?? Is it compressed
with some other format ? I havn't tried the last two yet and if they
are any different could someone please explain.
thanks, Matt Crowd, glmwc@marlin.jcu.edu.autombs@ee.rochester.edu (Thomas Tombs) (01/25/91)

To unstuff .hqx files you first must choose UUDECODE under the OTHER menu in StuffIt. This makes it a .sit file. Note: .sit files are binary files and must be sent as such (i.e. when using ftp type BINARY before you send the file). .sit files can then be unstuffed with Stuffit to their original form with the EXTRACT button after the archive is opened and selected.

You should FTP the first file in straight binary format. If you're
then going to download the file to your machine via modem, then
any of the current Mac term programs will do the conversion for
you automatically. If you choose, you can also just get the file
to your machine in straight binary (not MacBinary!) format and then
use the "MacBinary" program (available from sumex-aim.stanford.edu in
the /info-mac/comm directory) to translate the file to its correct
form.
