I have been having a lot of problems with the FROMHEX format
files that have come over net.sources. Abpout half the time
the checksums don't match by the time they get to me and of
those that have good checksums, about half don't work when I
run them through FROMHEX (as derived from FROMHEX.HEX via
BINHEX). Are other people having trouble with FROMHEX files?

I would be pleased if people would use BINHEX format to
submit programs... It seems to work a lot smoother and
can easily handle files with both DATA and RESOURCE branches.
