I've been using StuffIt for decoding and decompressing all this
Usenet stuff for quite some time now. Quite a few times decoding
a Binhexed file produced a "disk related error -39". This made
me download the programs to my Mac over and over until I discovered
the cause of this error. Well, uh, not really the cause, but the
solution to the problem. Maybe it'll be useful to other stuffers
as well:

As soon as you run into the '-39 error', load the Binhexed document
in your favorite wordprocessor and add a simple carriage return in front
of the rest of the file. That's all. It cured most of my problems!
