I do not quite understand your problem but I use elm and mcvert although moving
files between my mac and unix are done using a terminal program and ymodem.

Something that I discovered though may be affecting you. When you run mcvert on
a normal macbinary .sit file, you get a .hqx file whose last line DOES NOT HAVE
A LINE TERMINATOR (ie. new line or carraige return) before the end of file
mark. Ffor some reason, this bothers stuffit. I usually have to go in and edit
the last line to add the newline after the ":" character.

Some editors such as vi have a tendancy to sometimes do this by them selves. So
if you edited the file for any reason, the newline at the tail could
automatically be inserted.

Just a guess that might be pertinent

(by the way, if the last line of a .hqx file generated by mcvert is full,
mcvert can put the ":" on the next line all by itself. This will also cause
problems that can be fixed by just editing the file and moving the ":" back
where it belongs.)

Hope this helps
