I need to install a HQX file, but I don't know how!
The problem is, how do I GET the file into my emulated Mac volume without having it pass through Windows first, and thereby corrupting it? As you said in an earlier thread:
But this is a catch-22! How can I save it to my Mac volume when Windows Explorer doesn't recognize that volume and I need to first save it in Windows before I can use HFVExplorer to copy it over to my Mac volume?Ronald P.

You need to copy the archive to a volume in the emulated machine and then, as "kikkoman" wrote, unpack/decompress the archive them within the Mac environment.kikkoman wrote:Please note that Mac programs will NOT RUN (will not work) if they reside on a PC volume.
I thought "maybe I can connect to the internet and download the HQX from within BasiliskII", until I realized that I would need install a browser to do that and I can't do that because I'd run into the same problem!
Please help me, I really need to figure this out today or tomorrow! (the particular program I'm trying to install is DigitPerform171.hqx; I've been given some really old sound files and I need that program to open them)
