<AH> <AH> This message came just as I was trying to find the unsit.shar <AH> file, but without sucess. I've been using mcvert on a Pyramid to combine <AH> and un-binhex. This works quite well and VERY fast. The next step is to <AH> use Zterm 0.85 (my telecomm program of choice) for a zmodem download to <AH> my MAC. This is also quite fast. The last step, using Stuffit 1.5.1 on <AH> the MAC to un-stuff is the slow step. I've heard about this program; <AH> unsit, which can do the un-stuffing on UNIX. Since I've got this powerful <AH> Pyramid machine,it makes sense to do the download here and then download. <AH> <AH> Could someone email a binhexed ... compressed ... uuencoded <AH> or whatever version to me of unsit(.shar ?). <AH> Thanks very much to both Rich Straka and Jeff Wasilko for emailing a copy of unsit to me. The version Jeff sent is the new version which can also save in macbinary format instead of just the .info .rsrc & .data files . Stuffit is a great program, but somewhat slow. Now it is very fast and easy to do the following : 1. Save a file(s) from comp.binaries.mac 2. Combine & un-binhex with Mcvert 3. Unstuff with Unsit 4. Download to your Mac using zmodem via Zterm 0.85 As steps 2 and 3 are done on your UNIX system, they are lightning fast. Zterm is a great program with the fastest downloads around. If you downloaded it from comp.binaries.mac and haven't tried it yet ... do so. Fast, easy to use, good vt100 and only $ 30 shareware. What you get after the download is an immediately usable Mac program,DA,init or whatever. Thanks again Rich & Jeff ... - Al
