First get Boomerang. It's shareware (not freeware) and lets you create folders and do all sorts of file manipulation from within save dialog boxes. Any save dialog box!!! I use it all the time, especially for exactly what you want to do, create folders on the fly from within Stuffit. Second, there is a program at sumex (probably) called MCVERT, this allows you to unbinhex files on UNIX machines. In the same directory as MCVERT should be UNSIT for UNIX. The directory will be something like info-mac/unix (I think, just look around). -Rob
