The information in this article applies to:
After you download Internet Explorer for Macintosh, Stuffit Expander may be unable to convert the BinHex-encoded files (.hqx) into an executable file.
This issue may occur if you are using a Windows-based version of Stuffit Expander instead of a Macintosh-based version.
To resolve this issue, use a Macintosh-based version of Stuffit Expander.
Although the Windows-based version of Stuffit Expander states that it can convert .hqx files, Macintosh executable files cannot be converted by the Windows-based version. This may work in Windows NT, because Windows NT can run Macintosh services that allow its services to be access by Macintosh computers.
BinHex file encoding converts a binary file into a hexadecimal text representation. BinHex encoding and decoding is frequently used to transmit files between the Macintosh and PC platforms. BinHex-encoded files commonly have an .hqx file extension.
