In general, doing things with the browser is preferred to using
HFS_XFer. However, if you've reinstalled HFS_XFer (by dragging it
into the hot-band and then running any program), and can point to
specific combinations of programs and HFS_XFer usage that fails, we'll
try to fix it. However, we need bug descriptions that say *exactly*
what you did when it died. Even if you can't reproduce those crashes,
if you can at least tell us what you did when it failed once, that's a
start -- a traceback is a help, too.

Try using Stuffit Extractor -- I think it will work no matter what.
If you want to continue using BinHex, however, fiddle with the
"Newline Mapping" option in the preference panel (Cmd-Shift-5). Linux
and DOS handle newlines slightly differently, so E/D has different
prefs for each.

Toss it into /usr/local/lib/executor and if it's readable and
writable, it should "just work".

Great to hear. Add that to the unofficial ARDI web pages if you have
WWW access (we don't). The URL is http://vorlon.mit.edu/pub/arditop.html.
