Don't know why the GS/OS system software is binhex/stuffit??  The
unix utils, mcvert (v1.5) and  unsit (v1.5), from sumex-aim.stanford.edu
(/info-mac/unix/...) show the GS/OS files to be in stuffit format.  No,
problem- ShrinkItGS can do MacBinary/Stuffit.  But, it can't do
subdirectories in stuffit archives (right?)  or BinHex.

Anyhow I think unsit is telling me that the resulting unBinHexed file
I got is a StuffIt disk image: Good.  I wonder if ShrinkItGS will
handle that?  Oooh, can't wait to go home and download it.

PS- I have a feeling that the mcvert program posted to comp.binaries.apple2
    was in fact a unix binary.  Whatever it was, it didn't run on Vax Ultrix.
    Ftp version 1.5 from the sumex...
