Ah! I knew I was on this list for some reason. This is a bug I just
recently reported. The interim solution is to edit the files and add
a ^M to the end of every line. ie.
vi foobar.hqx
:1,$ s/$/^V^M/
(type ^V, ^V, ^V, ^M to get the "^V^M", of course)
I have found that CompactPro's un-hqxer works without these ^M's.
