Perhaps the file decoding questions about BinHex have been answered, but I've
been off of the list for a while, so heres a little redundancy anyway.
 BinHex is a  file encoding and compression scheme popular in Macintosh
systems. In fact, it works with DOS based systems ,too. The encode-decode
software is available as shareware from AOL. To get it go to Computing,
Software center, Search libraries, type in binhex, then click on the item
BinHex 4.0, download it, and use your unzipping program to decompress it

My opinion --- since it takes an  ASCII file as an original ( what you
generally type out on your key board) .compressing it by any of a vaiety of
schemes seems like gilding the lilly because Internet will automatically
split your message into parts that fit its transmission protocall. Why then
subject list members to the work of decompressing something that doesn't need
it. If someone then wants to store a several part file in a compressed
format, he/she can then compress it for their own use.
