It's frustrating, to say the least. Often , all you have to do is change the filetype and creator type of the file. These can be changed with most utility programs (but not with HFS Xfer). Actually, a feature that would be very welcome in 2.0 is the -automatic- setting of these types when files are transferred from DOS. But anyway, I managed to find a couple of shareware utilities that work with Executor and should help: File Kit and Finder Info. For instance, old StuffIt archives have the four letter filetype 'SIT!', whereas I think the new ones are 'SITD'. They both have the creator 'SIT!'. This should go in the Executor FAQ if there is one; it's definitely in a Mac FAQ somewhere (?). kurtg@iastate.edu said: >Binhes 5 is not used (4 is superior): like word 5.1 is often thought to be >better than 6. The .sit exetension can mean a stuffit 1.5.1 file or a I thought the difference between BinHex 4.0 and 5.0 was that 4.0 handled 7-bit files (like uuencode), and 5.0 handled primarily 8-bit files. Doesn't 5.0 just add MacBinary to a file?
