The name of the utility is macunpack. Remember that all Mac files have
a resource fork and a data fork, and the NeXT currently isn't real
savvy about just what to do with those two different parts. Assuming
you're just unpacking more or less text files (ie text files, gif's,
etc) you should be ok.

As to where to find it, archie comes back with:

Host wuarchive.wustl.edu

           FILE -rw-rw-r--      69013  Jan 25 04:36

No problem. Enjoy.
