[regarding trouble with StuffIt's deBINHEX option]

I have found that the DA BinHqx 1.0 is a superb tool for binhexing and
de-binhexing files.  Aside from being far faster than ANY version of StuffIt's
algorithm (1.5.1 or Deluxe 1.0.1), it has been fool-proof, never having a
problem with any Binhex from Usenet or other locales.
 
StuffIt consistently chokes on some binhex files; I don't know why.  I've
given up using StuffIt Deluxe for this purpose, using BinHqx DA instead.
