I also had some problems decoding BinHex 4.0 files, but of a
different skein.

For me, the problem lay in the decoding itself.  I used Stuffit
1.40A to decode files picked off of comp.binaries.mac, and it
beeped and said, "A disk-related error caused ... etc. [-39]"

Now, my question is, what is disk error "-39" and why did I get
it?  Was it because I edited my files too much, cutting out
everything but the weird-looking stuff?

Replies by e-mail, unless it is a common enough problem.
