- I've experienced this same problem. I've used binary transfers, copies
- to disk, and a number of other possible solutions to no avail. However,
- don't give up. There is a utility called DeSEA at sumex (try util/). Run
- DeSEA to remove the SEA portion of one of your de-hqx'd and now "corrupted"
- archives. Once you've removed the SEA portion, open the archive as you
- normally would. I've had very good success with this approach (though
- not 100%).
