There is one improvement BinHex5 has that BinHex4 (and Stuff_It 1.31) do not. BinHex5 will ignore all "header" material in a file and begin decoding at the appropriate place. BinHex4 and Stuff_It will NOT decode a file with extra headers, complaining about "CRC Error". I would just love it if Stuff_It ignored the extra headers. All the stuff I download from Usenet has them, and it's a pain to remove them. Also the headers usually provide minimal documentation. How about it? Next release? /John stuffedandhexedtodeath-ly
