- 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.
