Based upon a warning from Joe Wasser and subsequent experimentation, it
appears that, when downloading a COMPRESSED BINHEX file to the Mac using
MacTerminal's "Record text off top" mode, MacTerminal throws away
trailing spaces on a line. These spaces ARE significant to the
COMPRESSED BINHEX format, and so the checksum does not match and the
resultant file is invalid.
MacTep works just fine, however.
Does anyone have any ideas as to why MacTerminal is doing this, and/or
how to STOP it from this dastardly action?
