Like many others, I have not been able to convert files in binhex format. I
pulled binhex3.bas off of net.sources, but the promised binhex.hex source never
appeared at our site.  I tried to convert missile.hex and das.hex using binhex3
.bas on the Mac with no success (bad checksum and the applications gives the
bomb with System error ID = 26)  Apparently there are two versions of binhex
format, and binhex3.bas only works with the old "noncompressed" one.  Could
someone explain how to convert binhex format files?  Could someone mail me
(I think a posting would be appropriate) the correct binhex program?
