That's not a Binhex thing. That's a file that was archived with a shareware 
program called "Compact Pro". You can extract this with Compact Pro or a 
smaller related utility called "Extractor". These are available via annoymous 
ftp from the popular mac arhives like sumex-aim.stanford.edu and 
mac.archive.umich.edu.
