I have fetched Stuffit Lite from several sources via anonymous ftp and
run into the a problem each time.  The file is always binHexed and
compressed.  The process I use is as follows:  I telnet to a local unix
host and then initiate an ftp to the internet host (sumex-aim, etc.) and
get the file.  Next I put the file from the local host to my se/30 and
use stuffit 1.5 to unbinHex  the file.  The result is a self extracting
application which I execute.  Finally, when I attempt to running Stuffit
Lite that has resulted from these operations, I am told that Stuffit Lite
is damaged and to check my disks for a possible virus!  Neither SAM 2.0
Virus clinic nor disinfectant 2.8 finds anything wrong with my hard
disk.  This has occurred three times, using three different sources for
the software.  I am sure that I am making an error, but I can not find
it.  If anyone has an idea that might cure the problem, please let me
know.

Thanks
