I am posting to net.sources.mac a program by the name of 'Unpit'.  This is the
UNIX 'unpit' translated to the Macintosh and augumented by some new functions.
Basically, it can unpack both Packit-I and Packit-II files, pack several files
into an uncompressed Packit-I format file, and delete files as directed by the
user.  So what's the advantage of Unpit over Packit-II?  It's free.

I'm not posting a separate documentation file, as the program is fairly simple
and to an extent self-documenting (select HELP under the FILE menu).  I do not
know if it is worth posting source, as (a) the source code almost surely looks
horrible after the way I mangled the code to gain speed, and (b) the source is
over twice the size of the executable.  If there's great demand for the source
code, I'll try to find time to upload it and post it.
