Hello,

	If you refrain from unsitting/uncompressing on you Unix site and do
this on the mac, you should have no problem's...  Usually I only use the Unix
mcvert since it's so fast, and since most everything for the mac is in Binhex/Macbinary format, when you download the .bin file, everything's just peachy...
