Sure you can. Most files for macs are posted on bbs's and ftp sites in .hqx
format. These files, which collapse the mac's data and resource forks into
one file, can be downloaded on a pc. Then open up executor, copy the file
from a DOS volume into an executor volume (an .hfv file), and open Stuffit
Expander (included with all Executor releases). Decode the file, and
unStuff it, if necessary. Share and enjoy.
