- Ernst,
-
- Ok, well, here's how I do it:
-
- - I download the file from AOL to my "Macintosh" directory. (not where
- executor is, but my holding area for Mac downloads)
-
- - Then I run BinHex and choose Download > Application.
-
- - Then I select the file from the Macintosh download directory.
-
- - Then I select the destination (usually my Jesse Mac Volume).
-
- - Then it starts and shows the creator as a garbage string and the file type
- as a garbage string, and locks up.
-
- Basically, this is exactly what you said, except with massively different
- results. :) I am beginning to suspect that it is an AOL problem, though.
- What I think happens is that the AOL software is so INTUITIVE that it allows
- them MAC users to upload files and IT encodes them for you, and then it is
- supposed to auto-decode them when you download them (similar to the way the
- PC version is supposed to auto-unzip). What I think happens is that the PC
- version doesn't do this, so it gives me what is supposed to be an encoded
- file, even though it isn't. <g> Or something like that anyway.
-
- What I think I'm gonna do is go onto AOL and look into some more details on
- this tomorrow. :)

- BTW- Thanx for your help, folx. Maybe I'll figger this thing out sometime
- soon. :)
