To repeat my posted solution of a couple days ago, the disk error -39
has really nothing to do with the disk.
I myself got that disk error the first time I tried using Stuffit 1.40A
to UnBinHex my files. I then started to play around with the files, to
see what it was all about. I found that if I had left the three lines
before the BinHex text, and three lines after, the UnBinHexing would
work like a charm. Of course, this flash of insight was mentioned
nowhere in the documentation, and didn't come to me until after I played
around for about tow hours.
To repeat myself: STUFFIT 1.40A WORKS!!! It's got a major bug, one that
should be reported to Raymond Lau, but that bug can be circumvented.
I have no relation or relationship to or with Raymond Lau.
