>here is the source code for a wonderful little program called mcvert.

I got a copy of mcvert a few weeks ago. It is a very good program. But
it would really be nice if it could undecode Stuffit archives. For
instance, last week I downloaded a MacIntosh Technical Note over a
2400 baud link. When I unarchived it, I discovered that it comprised 3
files: a MacWrite, a Word, and a FullWrite version of the same
document. What a waste. If I had a utility to unsit the file on unix,
I could just download what I need.

Where does one get these utilities if one doesn't have ftp access? Do
anonymous UUCP archives exist for the Macintosh-related stuff?

Thank you,
