Argh.  Of course, I rembered the name just after I hit 'send'.

It's unsit, naturally...mcvert makes a binhex file into
a macbinary stuffit file, unsit unstuffs it.  It also puts
the file into macterminal format (3 files for each one)
and macbinary puts them into 1 macbinary file.  Or maybe I
got this backwards, but the source files include dox.
