Since Stuffit requires a single .hqx file, you need to either combine the seperate files manually in an editor (removing headers & trailers)... OR use the nifty little utility "United", which will do the combining for you. United is also particularly helpful for rebuilding files posted to c.b.m. in multiple parts, and best of all, it's free. You can probably find it on sumex or other such Mac ftp sites. John
