I don't understand the above exchange at all! Was he manually single-stepping
the processor?!

> Can you tell me where can I get BinHex 4.0 (PC version) from FTP

ftp ftp.cdrom.com /pub/simtel/msdos/mac/
binhex13.zip  B   45638  930530  Encode/decode a Macintosh BinHex 4.0 file
xbin23.zip    B   34636  910121  Decode a Macintosh BinHex file

Australian users should ftp archie.au, and look through /micros/pc/.../simtel/
