    You'll sometimes get a CRC error if you try to BinHex a file
without trimming off the headers BinHex 4.0 requires that you use an
editor (any editor will do, even MockWrite) to remove everything
before the line, "This file must be converted with BinHex 4.0." Also
go to the end and remove the signature (anything after the BinHex
gobbledegook).
    If you're using BinHex 5.0, it doesn't seem to care about
headers, so that's not the problem.
    Finally, remember to save the file as "text only" when you leave
your editor, or it won't work anyway.
