I just fetched macpgp 2.3 from soda, and wound up with a file ending in the suffix "gz". This is a new one on me, and I don't know how to decode it. Can anybody inform me? Inside whatever it is is a binhexed compactor file, and I can deal with those formats, but the outside wrapper defies every decompressing utility I've got.

"gunzip" does the job. Fortunately for me, Netcom had it installed. Gunzip the file, send it to your home machine (I use "sz"), unstuff it and double-click the .sea file. This compression stuff--pun intended--is getting out of hand. Files are zipped, gzipped, binhexed, stuffed, and made into self-extracting archives! Seriously, I've had several of these associated with just one file. Mostly the compression is a waste, as the Internet already compresses (so I have been told), and for sure when I "sz" the gunzipped file to my home Mac for debinhexing, unstuffing, and self-extracting, my Supra modem has already tried in vain to compress the files for transmission! (I know, by the way, that binhexing is not compression, and that the .sea archives are a way to ship multiple files and folders, but, still....) MacPGP 2.3 is very nice, by the way! A wonderfuly "help" facility, and an even cleaner interface. -Tim -- .......................................................................... Timothy C.
