- 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.
