hqx is a compressed format. You would need something like Stuffit Expander to decompress it unless you get it in via AOL (see my other post). You will need the file in sea format. That is a self-expanding format.
I just today downloaded the hqx version onto a PC, downloaded it to the A drive onto a PC formatted diskette, brought it home, put it in my computer and it appeared on the desktop as a PC diskette with that hqx file in the window. the whole file fit onto one diskette. However, that is not an sea file, so you would still need software to expand it.
