Could someone please send me the Table that is posted every so often that lists archive programs for various systems (PC, Mac, Amiga, Unix, ...) This is the table that lists that latest version numbers and is there is a program on OS X that can extract and archive made on OS Y. I believe the table also lists encoders such as uu and xx encode/decode and BinHex. On that same note, I am looking for a UNIX or MSDOS program to unBinHex files that have been "BinHex"ed on Macs. I would like to work on converting Mac Type 1 font binary files to PC Type 1 font files for use with ATM for Win3. It seems that the Mac Type 1 font files are stored in .SIT.HQX format on the FTP archive at UMICH.

The Platform(s) column doesn't specify all the platforms, but the type of system that format is most commmonly found on.
