NOTE: Files with the .hqx file name extension are not self-extracting
files. The .hqx extension designates a file as being BinHex
(binary/hexadecimal) encoded. BinHex encoding is a technique that allows
Macintosh files to be stored on file systems that either strip or ignore
the resource fork.


Pp7trans.hqx must be decoded before you can obtain the PowerPoint for
Windows 95 translators. To decode the .hqx file you must use a BinHex-
compatible decoding utility.


For additional information about downloading and decoding BinHex files,
please see the following articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
