I fixed my problems with invalid .bxy files, they work fine now.  There 
seemed to be several Macintosh headers at the start of the .bxy file 
(don't ask me why).  If anyone else has trouble this is how you remove 
the file headers by hand.

Load the downloaded file into an Apple IIgs text editor as if it were a 
text file and view it in shaston 8 point.

A few lines down the screen you should find this sequence

inverted ?	G	L	checkmark

that is a four character sequence with no spaces or anything separating 
it.  Delete all characters in the file before that sequence (remember to 
leave the inverted ? at the start) then save the file.  If none of this 
makes sense to you feel free to EMail me and I'll help you out.  

BTW:  This is not standard MacBinary heading that can be removed with The 
Stripper (I tried), but if you have a program that will remove it, it 
would probably be appreciated on the net.
