I need some help.  I have a set of GIF files sitting in my UNIX directory
and I would like to be able to view them on my Mac.  How does one go about
converting the files to a Mac readable format?  So far, I have tried receiving
them as text, then using StuffIt 1.5.1 to extract them.  I have tried
running it through BinHex 4.0 and then trying to read it through SuperPaint.
Nothing has worked.  Do you need a special program to view them, and are
there special procedures to be followed when downloading them?  If you need
a special viewer program, is there a good one available via FTP? From where?
If not, what should I do to extract these files?		

Please help!
