I realize that in my last message concerning this topic, i did not furnish enough information so; so here goes :
-at this time my only Internet computer happens to be a PC running XP
-i have had mixed results with successfully unziping the files I've transfered over via zip disk
-some times stuffit expander and binhex 5.0 are work fine, other times they do not
- the only files i have actually been able to decode have been .hqx files
-every .sit not contained in a .hqx container seems to be corrupted
-my browser (firefox 1.0) sometimes parses .hqx files into plaintext
-binhex has no problem decoding these when saved as .txt files


-is a browser or extension that will parse .hqx files into plaintext available?
-if a .hqx file is a text file, would it be possible to to fix it just by formating it correctly in a text editor?
-is there any way to get .sit files downloaded on a pc to unstuff?
-or is the solution just to purchase third party software, such as macopener?


thank you very much,
                Lorsen Long
