I use Eudora on a Mac to attach documents to email, where the documents
may occasionally be binary files (compressed archives, programs, Word
documents, etc). In the Mac world, the binary to ascii munging format
is called .hqx format (for mysterious reasons). Its a standard format
that's supported by all Mac compression programs (Stuffit, Compact Pro,
etc).

I'd like to set up my PC-based colleagues to unmunge these files, but
I don't know what names to search with via Archie. Can you help?

Its best to reply by email as I rarely read PC newsgroups.
