Bob-

When I downloaded Stuffit Lite, I was successful the first time.  I don't
remember where I got it, but I don't think that is your problem.

If you download a .HQX file, you should be using ascii format, which is
usually the default.  Unless you use a program like Fetch, you will need
BinHex version 4 to decode .HQX files.  I believe Stuffit 1.5 uses BinHex
version 5 conversion, which is normally used to convert a binary file that
was uploaded with MacBinary.

I used a recent version of "Fetch" to download it.  Fetch automatically
converted the .HQX file for me, providing "StuffIt Liteª Install", ready to
run.

If you have a nearby anonymous ftp site, I can upload my copy of "StuffIt
Liteª Install", using MacBinary.  Let me know.
