Subject: Re: Twin Peaks Hypercard Stack From: dawson@epps.kodak.com (Keith Dawson) Date: 1990-12-04, 07:47 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks Be sure you have plenty of disk space before you start. I ftp'd the four parts of TPstack (TPstack.cpt.Hqx.part[1..4], 2153K) to a Unix system (be sure to say "binary" to ftp before copying the files), then pushed them to a Mac attached to the network by a Gatorbox. The files at this point had Mac type/creator codes of TEXT/Unix. I ended up using the BinHqx 1.0 DA (Howard Fukuda, Rainbow Software; Shareware, $5) to unencode and join ...part[1..4]. BinHex 5.0 would probably have worked too. (I first tried the BinHex function built into Stuffit Classic v1.6, and had no success because Stuffit seems to use a different format for splitting files.) The tricky part in all this involves the type/creator codes. Unless the codes match what the program is expecting, it won't "see" the files to open them. First I used BinHqx to encode and split a test file, then used MacTools 7.2 to look at the type/creator of one of the fragments: it was TEXT/BthX. Then changed the creator codes of ...part[1..4] to BthX. Now the BinHqx "Join & Decode" function could see the files. The output of Join & Decode is TPstack.cpt (1584K), a self-unpacking application made with the Compressor utility. Double-clicking it produces (at last!) TPstack (2018K). After all the work, that cuppa coffee sure tasted good! -->Keith -- Keith Dawson 508-670-4025 Atex Advanced Publishing Systems Fax: 508-670-4033 165 Lexington Rd. (400/165L) Billerica MA USA 01821
