	I think it is hopeless to try downloading these *.sit files.
The original *.hqx files can be downloaded form midway.uchicago.edu;
althought I believe bibtex.hqx is on ymir.claremont.edu. I uploaded
the macmakeindex.hqx to the ymir ftp machine, but I don't know if Don
Hosek moved it into the proper directory.

	The *.hqx files are ASCII translations of the binary *.sit
files. Use StuffIt to De-BinHex the *.hqx files into *.sit files and
then StuffIt again to go from *.sit to double-clickable applications.
