- What am I doing wrong? The only files I download via ftp from sites that I
- can "revive" are ones that end in .hqx. These I download on an IBM to a
- DOS floppy, read it on a Mac with a SuperDrive and AccessPC, deBinHex with
- CompactPro, and then either unstuffit or uncompact, no problem. Files ending
- in anything else, even in familiar old .SIT, I can neither unstuff nor
- deBinHex. I always get in ftp after typing "binary" first. What am I doing
- wrong?

- Thanks!
