- When I downloaded Stuffit Lite, I was successful the first time. I don't
- remember where I got it, but I don't think that is your problem.
-
- If you download a .HQX file, you should be using ascii format, which is
- usually the default. Unless you use a program like Fetch, you will need
- BinHex version 4 to decode .HQX files. I believe Stuffit 1.5 uses BinHex
- version 5 conversion, which is normally used to convert a binary file that
- was uploaded with MacBinary.
-
- I used a recent version of "Fetch" to download it. Fetch automatically
- converted the .HQX file for me, providing "StuffIt Lite¬ Install", ready to
- run.
-
- If you have a nearby anonymous ftp site, I can upload my copy of "StuffIt
- Lite¬ Install", using MacBinary. Let me know.
