Get a copy of unstuff.exe (available on AOL compressed as unsitins.exe) and use the -mb tag to convert your downloaded files to MacBinary format before ever moving them into Executor. E.g.: unstuff -mb somefile.sit And you'll get somefile with a different extension. Then start up Executor and use BinHex's Download --> Application function to convert the file to an application and move it into an Executor volume simultaneously. This technique worked on my four sample .sit files. If it fails for you, let me know which file is the problem and I'll get back to work on it. Melissa melissa@ardi.com
