Here's what I use, not too often but enough to keep it on the worksheet
of my Portable's hard disk:

mcompress -d "Unix File" | translate "" "6n" > "Mac File"; Open "Mac File"

where the first operand of translate comes from a cut on the first file I
wanted to translate, and the second operand is option-d then n.  Works fine.
