- Hello,
-
- I've been struggling for about one week now to download
- hqx files and have yet to succeed.
-
- The procedure that I have tried is to ftp the file I want
- in ASCII mode. Then I use a UNIX zmodem program to
- download the file from my account to my Mac. With the
- zmodem program I use a "-a" parameter to convert to CR/LF.
- Once the file is on my Mac I use Binhex 4.0 which returns
- an error message indicating the file has been corrupted.
-
- What am I doing wrong?
-
- Any help would be greatly appreciated.
