I am using MacTerminal to download binaries from comp.binaries.mac
Running BinHex 4.0 produces some curious results and I would like the
advice of someone more experienced.

I run BinHex, select "Upload->Application" from the File menu.  I wish
to convert a textfile to a binary.  The prompt box requests a source,
then a destination.  After both are supplied, the system whirrs for a while
and stops with the error box "No checksum error".  This message is a bit
ambiguous, you must understand.

The end result is a document file on my disk which is not launchable.
What additional steps are necessary?  What does the cryptic
"no checksum error" mean?

Please respond via EMAIL.  If the same questions plague you, let me know,
and I will send a synopsis to you.

Thanks!
