There is a program called mcvert for unix that will convert .hqx files to 
mac binarys. Once you are there you need some utility that will convert
the Mac fonts to GDOS format.

The .sit files are created by StuffIt!, the Mac equivalent to arc files. The
details for StuffIt! files are available, but I do not know of any
implementations on the ATARI. You might have to "unStuff" them on a
PC or a Mac.
