	The extension .hqx means that they have been transformed throught
a program called BinHex (5.0 is the latest) I think.  It's about like 
uuencode/uudecode on Amiga or Unix.  You need to unBinHex it and then
you'll probably discover that that it is 'Stuffited'.  Stuffit is a Mac
archiver like tar or zoo or lharc and the latest version I think is 1.5.1.

						Good luck,
