I have BinHex 5.0 on my Mac+.  I told it to convert an application to an
upload.  I expected the kind of binhexed file I have seen posted to the
net, containing only printing characters and lines less than 80
characters long.  What I got was a file with type TEXT and creator BnHq,
containing garbage characters, which I assume is MacBinary format.  How
do I create an hqx file that I can post?  I thought that this was one of
the purposes of BinHex.  Do I have to find a copy of BinHex 4.0 to do
this?  I assumed that 5.0 was upward compatible with 4.0.
