Try "mcvert" from sumex-aim.stanford.edu, file /info-mac/unix/mcvert.shar, or sauna.hut.fi (128.214.3.119), file /pub/mac/unix/mcvert.shar. No access to Internet? Ask for it by mail, and I'll send it to you. "mcvert" will convert your "BinHex_part[1-n].hqx" files into a single MacBinary-file, which then can be downloaded. If you have the parts in a single file with lines such as "--- end of ...." and "From: xxx", no problem. It can detect these and skip them and get to the "real stuff". It will also convert the MacBinary file back to a single BinHex-4 file, if you want to download the ascii file. Pretty neat. Who wrote it?
