	This is purely guesswork based on a lot of playing around with More
Disk Space, but I'd bet that More 3.1 and MacTools 2.0 have been compressed
with a product from Alysis called the Alysis Resource Compressor.  If this 
is so then More Disk Space ought to be able to decompress the whole thing. 
Alternately open up More Disk Space with ResEdit, copy any "dcmp" resources
you find there, and paste them into a copy of ResEdit itself.  In 
particular there should be one dcmp resource with ID# 14.  ResEdit will 
PROBABLY then be able to open up the resources in More and MacTools.
