Translating First Things First DD file w/o DD?

Yesterday I allocated an extensive amount of time to
downloading the demo for First Things First from SUMEX.
My modem is only 1200 baud.

I decoded the binhex, then noticed that the resulting
file has a DD suffix. I tried to double-click the file,
but it appears not to be self-extracting. I then tried
to translate it using the DD translator in Stuffit Deluxe,
with the result of a message that I needed the DD INIT, which
is not provided with the Stuffit Deluxe package.

Any suggestions, other than to buy DD to try out another
application's demo? I hope that there is a trouble-free
and fast solution.

Thx,
Steve
