[comp.sys.mac] .PIT files?

This might be a silly question, but ...

I downloaded the Mandelbrot files from comp.binaries.mac the other
day (after putting it off for a while :-), and then put the files
together.  I ran the result of this through BinHex (ver 4.0) and
all I got was a Macintosh document called Mandelbrot.pit.  It wasn't
an application, nor did Stuffit (ver 1.10) indicate that this was an
archive.  My questions: "What do I have? What does one do with a file
like this?"
Thanks in advance,
(I guess it would be best to mail to me directly, instead of the net as
a whole)
