	I have been having a lot of problems with the FROMHEX format
	files that have come over net.sources.  Abpout half the time
	the checksums don't match by the time they get to me and of
	those that have good checksums, about half don't work when I
	run them through FROMHEX (as derived from FROMHEX.HEX via
	BINHEX).  Are other people having trouble with FROMHEX files?

	I would be pleased if people would use BINHEX format to
	submit programs...  It  seems to work a lot smoother and
	can easily handle files with both DATA and RESOURCE branches.
