What version of Executor do you have? I believe 1.99j was unable to
access files on your DOS hard drive, but that was fixed in 1.99k. You
should be able to unbinhex something on your DOS drive with 1.99k.
You could also copy the file to a Mac volume with HFS_Xfer.
Maelstrom is fun, although the colors are "dark" under Executor.
Note: most bug reports we see neglect to mention which version of
Executor demonstrates the problem. Please include this information!
