[comp.sys.mac] BinHex?

I am a proud new owner of a Mac+ and have just started reading
this news group as well as mod.mac.sources.  My question is 
where do I find BinHex in order to install programs which appear
on the net.  I know you must hate seeing this question everytime
a new user comes on board but I don't know where else to turn.
Also, Is there a USENET site which offers uucp access to the 
Mac source/binary archives.

                             Thanks,
                             Ken Heitke

     Ok, this may sound stupid, but I recently started checking out ftp sites,
and they contain files labeled with a .hqx extension.   For example:
  
                 Whatzit.sit.hqx
  
     I was told that these files are encoded using BinHex, and I need that to
 decode them.  Any suggestions on whether this is true, and if so, where I
 could get a copy?
  
    Thanx.
