What is going on with xbin and Igor Demo. I xbin'ed the binhexed files
on  our Unix host:
-rw-r--r-- 1 hv 1059955 Jan 2 11:32 Igor_demo_installer.hqx
-rw-r--r-- 1 hv 1078053 Jan 2 11:49 Igor_extras_demo_installer.hqx

and got these:
-rw-r--r-- 1 hv  779082 Jan 2 13:59 IgorxDemoxInstaller.bin  
-rw-r--r-- 1 hv  791625 Jan 2 13:59 IgorxExtrasxDemoxInstaller.bin 

When in Mac UnBinHexed files are:
-rw-r--r-- 1 hv  736911 Jan 2 13:42 igordemoinstaller.bin 
-rw-r--r-- 1 hv  749454 Jan 2 13:46 igorextrasdemoinstaller.bin 

(These figures are when in our Unix host)

They  are about  40K  different...  No  need  to say  that   the first
mentioned are not OK. So I think that xbin does something that is very
wrong because the files are so much larger.
