There you will find copies of Stuffit Expander for both PCs and Macs. The PC version also decodes .zip and all sorts of other PC file formats, well worth having. Then simply decode the file on your PC and transfer the binary file to your Mac using a floppy. One thing to be aware of when opening .HQX files on a PC. PCs use two control characters at the end of each line of text, CR (Carriage Return) and LF (Line Feed) Macs of course used just one CR. If you open a .HQX file on a PC it will probably add LF's to the end of each line which in turn will in effect corrupt the file when you transfer it to your Mac, so it won't decode. You have been warned. Sean.
