[comp.fonts] Retrieving fonts from the U-M archives

Argh...  and in that above message I said something to the
effect of "I'm getting the hang of posting to USENET"...
  
Anyways, to answer to Phillip's question, I'm aware of 
utilities that will un-binhex macintosh files on the 
Unix side, but there's no unstuffit utility that I 
know of, that runs on a Unix machine.
  
The easiest thing to do, is to retrieve the font from
the macintosh archive to your account, download it
from your account to your macintosh (you can cut those
two steps in half if you're running MacTCP and NCSA 
Telnet), unbinhex and then unstuff the document.  Voila'
you have a new font for your laserwriter.
  
I've added about ten fonts in the past four days, so
check out the site (35.1.1.43, cd PC2:) if you have
a chance.
  
If anyone knows off hand what I did wrong up there, 
or if you find a font you think would be good to add
to the Mac archive, comments, complaints, flames 
("go to mi.newusers, dweeb!!!!"), bad jokes, etc.. 
send them along to me.. thanks!
