HELP

Can someone please explain me (step-by-step) how i can binhex and unsit files
on a unix machine and later copy them to a mac-directory. I know how to
binhex and unsit my files on a mac but that's terribly slow on my mac+.
So, I downloaded some files concerning binhexing and uncompressing on a unix
machine but i just keep ketting wierd error messages like: "not a stuffit file"
after i downloaded a file like foo.sit (yes i did it in binary mode) and tried
"unsit". I couldn't find any documentation about unsit and mcvert so please...

I would also like to know how i convert a macbinary file to a macintosh file
(preferably also on a unix machine)

Thank You,
Daniel van der Zee
