I think you are looking for something like *macbinfilt*. It is a unix tool
included in the sit.shar file. See the following announcement:

XThis shar file contains the source to "sit" a UNIX utility which produces
XStuffit archives for downloading to the mac.  As a bonus I've also included
X"macbinfilt", a filter which takes articles from comp.binaries.mac, puts the
Xparts in the correct order, and throws out all the "noise" lines.
X
XTo use the sit code you need the getopt(3) library routine and the compress(1)
Xutility, both of which most everyone seems to have by now.
X
XThere is not much original code here: everything is reverse engineered from
Xthe unsit utility by Alan Weber.  The updcrc.c file is exactly the same file
Xfrom the unsit package.
X
XI've tested the code on both BSD and SYSV machines. Both machines were big
Xendian so byte order problems may still be lurking.
