Hi!
I've encountered similar problems with binhexed files before. So far
the only solution I've been able to work out is to use binhex 4.0--even if
the file does not completely de-binhex, this version will leave the
partially de-binhexed file on the disk--from there you can use stufit to get
part of the archive. but this should be done carefully because stuffit will
crash sometimes when it's working on a corrupt archive.
The other possiblilty is that you downloaded the binhex file in three or
four parts. In this case you would have to catenate the files together
before attempting to de-binhex them.
Another thing you can check is to make sure there aren't any colons in
the file's header. Sometimes people put descriptions there and they will
interfear with binhex if the message contains a colon.
best of luck, John......
