Re: Can you help me?
Hi Erik,
Please remember that a Macintosh file has two parts: the data fork
and the resource fork. Programs like BinHex and StuffIt put both
parts into a single file which is then encoded for transmission.
Yes, it idea is similar to uuencode, but uuencode will not decode
the HQX files.
