Laurent's method sounds easiest, but if you are curious: suntar-223.hqx is a binhexed stuffit archive. Dropping it on stuffit expander should work. If not, maybe rename it to suntar-223.sit.hqx first... > The emile binfile is copied to a floppy which will boot? I don't have to > change the resource owner/type? No. AFAIK there is no creator and type code to describe such a file. If you have a linux box with a working floppy drive, $ dd if=floppy.bin of=/dev/fd0 conv=sync may also work. Either way, using the mac eliminates potential problems of writing and reading with different disk drives... -f > > > > P.S.
