-
- Yes.
- Most mac files are available for download are either in MacBinary (".bin"
- suffix) or Binhexed (".hqx" suffix). either should be downloadable to your
- PC, just make sure to give it an 8.3 filename, leaving the .bin or .hqx as
- the last file suffix.
- Then run Executor, move the file to a "Mac" partition, and run stuffit
- expander to decode and uncompress it. Make sure you move it to a Mac
- partition first or it will go poof! Mac executables come in two parts, and
- the pc file structure does not handle this politely.
