Passwords on BinHex files? I've never heard of that.
BinHex is similar to 'uuencode', just a binary to ASCII
conversion. How did you attempt to open them?
John, the 'q' in the extension suggests a 'squeezed' file, and
while I am not aware of a password scheme for squeeze programs,
that does not prove that there were not some.
Louis, I would take a crack at it with the Carson Wilson program
CFX and see what it does.
I was able to use "Stuffit Password Remover" to get into the
original un-binhexed file. Unfortunately, it turned out NOT
to be DaynaFile 3.1 as labeled, but was actually SuperVideo
(Radius?).
Luckily I found my original DaynaFile disks. If anyone else
has an orphaned DaynaFile-II, let me know, and I'll spin you
a copy.
