You must be either using a really old version of BinHqx, or you have a corrupted
copy.  I'm using BinHqx 1.02 with 7.0, and it works beautifully.  Contact the
author, Howard Fukuda (physi-hf@garnet.berkeley.edu) for an upgrade.  Or
poke around on the archives.  To install , just drag its suitcase onto the
System Folder, and let it auto-nstall for you.  The Prefs file stays in
the root level of the System folder, does NOT go into preferences.
