Help!  I have downloaded a Mac application from a BBS using my PC (its a copy
of UnStuffIt in some form of self extracting file).  I Then copied to my Mac
using the file exchange utility.  Now for the question, how can I launch the
file so that it extracts itself?  Please respond with any ideas via e-mail.

		Thanks
