I have been trying (unsuccessfully!) to get a mac file:

	mactivation.3.2.sit.hqx.Z

onto a Mac and running.  What follows are my efforts to date:

".Z"    - is easy uncompress in unix.
".hqz"  - apparently compressed with an application BINHEX
	  So I tried to find BINHEX:

             At net1.ucsd.edu they have "xbin" which un"BINHEX"s 
             files unfoutunately it creates 3 files
                    "mactivationx3x2xsit.data"
                    "mactivationx3x2xsit.info"
                    "mactivationx3x2xsit.rsrc"
             which seems incorrect because ".sit" seems to specify
             a "stuffit" archive.  (How does one get these files
             to the Mac with the right Resource and Data forks ??
             {assuming no sit compression})

             At wsmr-simtel20.army.mil they have many file utilities
             includeing BINHEX50.SIT! Infact all of the files have
             the .SIT extension.  So I down loaded it with the
             "binary" option on ftp.  I also downloaded it onto 
             the mac (with NCSA Telnet-FTP in Binary mode)
             which has StuffIt on it.  However, when I attempt to 
             UnStuffIt it gives an error message.

".sit" -     StuffIt

I would appreciate any help from a kind MacPerson.  I have evidently
messed up the files somehow.

Many Thanks,
