Try sumex-aim.stanford.edu [36.44.0.6], cd /info-mac/unix, get mcvert-15.shar.
This program turns BinHex files into binary files _with_a_MacBinary_envelope_.
That is, there are an extra 128 bytes at the beginning of the file w/Macintosh
file information. This may cause problems in some cases. ShrinkIt should work
fine, though.
