At sumex it is "info-mac/util/maccompress-32.hqx".  I have used it quite
a bit and have never had any trouble as long as I remember to transfer 
the files in binary mode instead of ascii (text).

From the message traffic here it is obvious that a lot of people 
who read this board are both Mac users and Unix mainframe users.
I encourage you to post MacBooz on comp.mac.binaries.  If you decide
not to, please e-mail me a copy.

Thanks in advance,
