Most Mac versions of NN and MSIE come with a program called
StuffIt Expander. The .hqx extension is one of the formats
that StuffIt will expand. Newer versions of StuffIt Expander
will also "unzip" files that have been "zipped" on a PC. I
know version 4.5 does. StuffIt Expander will expand .sit,
.bin, .hqx, and .zip files.
