- The best utility I've found for encoding/decoding BinHex files (.hqx) is
- Stuffit 1.5.1. I tried about two or three BinHex-specific utilities
- (BinHex 4.0, etc), and none are as reliable as stuffit. The commands
- are under the OTHER menu.
-
- The shareware version of Stuffit 1.5.1 must be in every archive on the
- planet, but I'm sure its at sumex-aim.stanford.edu in the Volume1/info-mac/
- utils directory, available by anonymous ftp.
-
- I also seem to remember the BinHex format code at sumex-aim in the
- Volume1/info-mac/tech directory.
