".hqx" means that the file has been compressed or coded as a 
BinHex file.  You can get a converter on Compact Pro 1.33 which
is available as shareware.  Check it out with a local Mac users
group.  When you run Compact Pro, you will find the converter
under the "Misc" menu.

Remember to send the file from the server to your mac as a
binary file.  Once you get the file to your home computer,
convert it with Compact Pro.

Good luck.
