Well, it may be that the downloaded file you get after de-binhexing
has a .SIT suffix.  If this is so, you've now got a stuffit archive.
Stuffit is a PD (at least, the extraction portion is) package that
allows you to archive a group of files together, compressed.  To
unstuff a file, you need to get a copy of stuffit, which I think is
available via anonymous ftp from sumex.stanford.edu.
