Executor does not currently support serial port/modem devices, or any form
of networking.  Be patient, they have plenty of work to do.

I assume you mean Mac archives, like .HQX files. I think that there are
programs for dos that can decode the BixHexing (its like UUencode in principle)
and others that can unpack the .SIT or .SEA archive that is usually contained
within.  The trouble is that mac file names are rarely compatable with
dos filenames, so unless you run Win95, NT or Linux, you'll have problems.
The preferred method is to create a large mac volume with MKHFV and
unpack mac files into that using Executor and Stuffit or another mac
compression program.
