[...goes on to describe BinHqx DA...]

I use Harry Chelsey's netnews reader stack to read comp.binaries.mac. I've 
added a "Save Binhex" command to the stack that will combine the parts of 
each posting in the proper order and save them as a single file with the 
headers and footers stripped. It works great. If you want a copy, just 
send me mail.

Now if only I could get my hands on DeBinHex and UnStuffIt XCMDs!
