I have a problem with HQX files and Binhex 4.0 in ShapeShifter.
I get CRC errors all the time. Ususaly $0000. I know it works, as I installed
system 7.0.1 as specified in the SS bootfile released by simon something.
All the files are downloaded from a FTP site and copyed to the mac partition
with the mac-handler.

Anyone!

BinHex is pretty cack. Use StuffIt expander instead.

Something that might help is manually editing out all the text at the top 
of the uuencode since BinHex can get confused by this.

Have a look at the hqx/bin files in a text editor on the amiga side.
If they have some headers at the top then delete it. BinHex can't bypass
the headers to get to the encoded stuff so it returns an error.
Had me pulling my hair out this.

Binhex 4.0 is quite flaky.  I did the same thing to me also all the time.  The
BEST thing to do is download a copy of Stuffit Expander.  It's Free to use.
It'll undo BinHex files and Unstuff files also.  Works great and doesn't give
you them error messages!  I made a Alias of Stuffit Expander and just placed
it on my Desktop.  Any files I need to Un Binhix or unStuff or both, I just
Drag the file on top of the desktop Icon and off it goes doing it's thing.
Simple to use.
