Okay, I confess I am stumped. Can anyone out there offer
an explanation of why GifferV0.96, a 248K+ program, made it
through the byte-eating Gods unscathed while numerous other
things, like the Hypercard cross reference doc, VisEff, and
the Stuffit 1.2 docs came through garbled?

The tech notes I expect to have garbled - the name problem has
been known for some time.

I hate to propose yet another file transfer scheme, but has anyone
out there enhanced something like xbin to give informative
diagnostics about the precise location of the error, or has
anyone given thought to a more robust binhex mechanism?
