Regarding the unix side of mac file transfers: I have a number of useful
programs that I would be willing to email to those who don't have
ready ftp access (most of these are available at sumex).  These are
mostly C source files (in .shar format).  Anyway, I have

unxbin
xbin
macbin
unmacbin

Together xbin and macbin will convert .hqx files to macbinary.  unmacbin
and unxbin go the other direction.  .rsrc, .info, and .data files are
used as an intermediate stage.  My main use for these has been to check
for munged files before I go through the pain of downloading at 1200
baud.  Since my unix end refuses to deal in 8 bit characters I do all
my downloading in straight text dump.  I do this to avoid the overhead
of kermit.  Fortunately my line is clean, so I have yet to lose a file
to noise.

Jonathan

Disclaimer: Some of the programs are quick hacks, so don't ask me how
to make them run on your system, as I only know enough of unix to get
by. (login / rn / logout :-) )
