1. Download the file.

  • If you are running Mac OS X 10.1.x to 10.5.x, select this link.
  • If you are using an older Mac OS computer that is not PowerPC-based (generally, such computers will have model numbers of three digits or fewer) select this link.
  • After your Web browser has finished downloading the file, you need to de-binhex it. On most computers, your Web browser will automatically launch StuffIt Expander and decode the download properly. If this does not happen, manually drag the file on top of the StuffIt Expander icon.

2. Remove the HQX file.

  • After de-binhexing, drag the .hqx file into the Trash and empty it.

3. Secure your access.

  • When you access business systems on the mainframe, you must use a protocol with TN3270 for protecting data.
