My apologies for the inconvience. 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. >-- >----------------------------------------------------------------------------- >Leonard Rosenthol Internet: leonardr@netcom.com >Director of Advanced Technology AppleLink: MACgician >Aladdin Systems, Inc.
