I am not a Macintosh user, but in the course of seeking out PostScript
fonts, I ended up downloading (via ftp) a number of intriguing fonts.
Unfortunately, I found them to be BinHex'ed.
	I tried to apply an algorithm similar to uudecode, but this
resulted in absolutely nothing I could recognize.  Some of these fonts
are Type 1, others Type 3; I suspect that at least with Type 3 fonts I
should be able to recognize where the resource fork ends and the file
data begins.

Can anybody help me out?  Please?  A brief description of the
algorithm and Binhex format (v4.0) would be all I require; alternately
some source code).
