What a coincidence.  I was having the same problem, so I called the creators
of HFS Backup and found a program called Restore which "decodes" the files
individually.  I checked with the people at PCPC and they said it was OK to
post Restore, so I will (to both net.sources.mac and to mod.mac.binaries),
and I'll mail a copy to you, Julian.

It's not a great program (the disk absolutely HAS to be named Backup #n),
but it does the job, and it makes HFS Backup completely viable.
