Your mailer has nothing to do with this (and neither does this
group, which makes me wonder why you're asking here, unless you
used Kermit for the download). Bin Hex is a binary to ascii
encoding scheme for Macintosh, which is similar in principle to
uuencoding. (If you're not familiar with any of that, the idea is
to encode a binary file as printable ascii characters for
e-mailing.)
You might try ftp://oak.oakland.edu/simtel/msdos/mac/binhex13.zip,
which should work if it's binhexed. I don't know what to suggest
if it's "or something."
Next week: "I have this *.SIT file..." :)
