- Hmmm, I'm able to do this without HandOff. When I download ZModem
- using ZTerm, it sets the file type/creator to ZIVU/LZIV, and
- doubleclicking them automatically launches MacCompress. (If I
- shift-click a bunch of them and open, MacCompress will uncompress
- as a batch.) I may have had to rebuild my desktop to do this, but
- it's worked fine as long as I remember.
