Well, a dozen mail messages and one transatlantic "talk" later, I think I have all the info I need. <grin> Thanks everyone who took the time to point me in the right direction.. To summarize: It turns out I need three programs altogether: mcvert: Translates a binhexed file into a binary (.site.hqx -> .sit.bin, .pit.hqx -> .pit.bin, etc.) unsit: unstuffs .sit.bin into three files (.rsrc, .data, .info) of type macbinary macbin: translates those three files into a "regular" .bin All three are available as .shar files via anonymous ftp at sumex.stanford.edu in the info-mac/unix directory. Thanks again, folks. You can stop replying now! <grin> -- Jim Gaynor - Systems Analyst 1 + "This is Serious. He is Lost.

If you use A/UX you can get by without all of the above (except unsit if you
need it -- otherwise just fire up Stuffit).
"man fcnvt".
