Could someone please tell me how to convert downloaded files.
I'm using Red Ryder 9.2 and using a local bulletin board.
I have no problem getting the file from the BBS to my floppy
but I can't use any of the files.  They appear as plain documents
on my desktop.  I've tried to download fonts and graphics. 
I did these files in XMODEM-CRC.  There were other options, 
but I don't understand what the differences are.
Programs I have which may or may not help include:
Mac Tools 4.51 and Font/DA Mover 1.2.

Also, I don't know how to get BinHex 4.0.  I've seen the
binaries on this board require this program, but I don't
know where to get this. Finally, if I have this program,
are there any other programs I need to complete the conversion?

Thanks in advance for your help.
