Yes indeed! There is MacCompress 3.2 by Lloyd Chambers to uncompress a la Unix: foo.tar.z -> foo.tar Then there is Tar 2.0 to untar a la Unix, written by Craig Ruff with excerpts from John Gilmore's public domain program: foo.tar -> foo Both programs are available by anonymous ftp: sumex-aim.stanford.edu from the directory /info-mac/util Other files of interest are in the /info-mac/unix-utilities directory. - "mcvert" handles binhex **coding - "sit" and "unsit" handle the popular "StuffIt" compression format.
