My understanding is that the only difference between the two BinHex routines is that the standard BinHex does RLE on the output, and StuffIt does not - the only result is that StuffIt's binhex output is slightly longer. I have used BinHex to decode files that StuffIt is produced, and vice-versa. Just because it's not identical to the standard doesn't make it wrong.
