Ah!  I knew I was on this list for some reason.  This is a bug I just
recently reported.  The interim solution is to edit the files and add
a ^M to the end of every line.  ie.

        vi foobar.hqx
        :1,$ s/$/^V^M/

(type ^V, ^V, ^V, ^M to get the "^V^M", of course)

I have found that CompactPro's un-hqxer works without these ^M's.
