>Does anyone know if there is a program for the IIgs that will extract '.hqx' files. I am pretty sure it is some kind of Mac format, but I cannot find out much more about it. Is it anything like stuffit ('.sit')? If it is I could use Shrinkit. Any help you could provide would be appreciated.

.hqx is like .bsq or .uue.  Basically, it's a way of converting files to
text for email transmission.  I believe that GScii+ will decode this file.
Normally, after that, you get a shrinkit file (.sit) which GSHK (GS ShrinkIt)
can unpack for you.
