Find and download a copy of binhex 5.0 to the LC. Make sure it will run

on a 68K.

Binhex will convert the .hqz file to the .sit file on the LC.

Then you can use stuffit to unpack the .sit file.

The copy of stuffit expander I run under OS 10.4.11 is also stupid

about .hqx files. I had the same problem on a IIci and a Quadra 700.

binhex was a common utility in the early 90's and it still is around.

To solve this problem i looked up the encoding format that is used

in .hqx files. Turns out it is binhex.

It would be helpful to change the name of this thread to something

linke "how do I decode a .hqx file?'
