[comp.sys.mac.comm] archive = .hqx.sit?

Hello world!

I'm Bill.  I need your help.

Usually, when I want to archive a program on mac, I have to use binhex to
put the header (icon image and info) and codes together.  But in the process, 
binhex convert everything into ascii (hex), thus increasing the size of the
file considerably.  

Using stuffit first before binhexing will decrease this size, but the result is
still larger then the original program. 

What I'm looking for is a program that will pack all the resources (forks? icon
images, info, and the main executable/whatever) into one file.  then I can
get a smaller resultant file.

Any suggestions?    Thank you very much.
