One other point - I have found the uncompressing the file on sumex
app/easy-view-22.hqx results in an incorrect output file. Actually, what I did
was convert the .hqx file on the unix machine, using mcvert, and dowloaded that.
When I use Stuffit Expander, I get a non-runnable application file (no icon,
strange error dialog when I attempt to run it), when I used Compact Pro
to uncompress it there was no problem. Note that there was no error message
uncompressing it with Stuffit Expander, the result just didn't work.
