	You must not have been reading this newsgroup lately..
There have been explanations of wh it was posted like this... The guy
that posted it just did it this way to get it online ASAP.. I think
that's a reasonable reason why...

	This has all been explained too... You can get mcvert to convert it
from .hqx on UNIX... works like a charm..

		Then un-StuffIt the file with ShrinkIT GS.  Then un-dImg it
with the special program written for this purpose (but might be useful in
the future) by one of the regulars on here.. Todd P Whisell?! Jawaid?! I 
forget...
