Thanks for all of the assistance that I've gotten through mail and so forth.
However, it seems that I wasn't clear enough about my intentions.  A few
people have referred me to Binhex and Stuffit, both of which run on the Mac.
At no point in time are the files going to reside on the Mac.  I am looking
to doing the complete conversion entirely on the unix box.  I've already
discovered a utility that takes a .hqx file and converts it to a .bin file.
Unfortunately, the .bin file is a stuffed file, thus requiring a unix utility
to create the individual files.  There is something called unsit, but I have
been unsuccessful in using it.  I have had a useful hint in this regard, but as
yet have not been able to accomplish what I seeking to do.  

   I can convert files on the Mac, transfer them over to the unix box and then
perform further processing there, but it would expedite matters if I could 
remove the Mac steps of the process.  If anyone is interested in this, please
send mail and I'll email what I've discovered.

Thanks again,

Frank
