Please don't yell at me for asking a stupid question...BUT, once in a
while a binhex'd file is posted in mod.mac.binaries -- after I de-hex it,
the file is type "PIT" with a name such as *.pit. I'm guessing that
this conventions denotes some sort of archived file ... so what software,
where/when/etc do I need to de-pit it?
