Hello,
	I have a problem getting Mac files from FTP sites. I get the files in
binary mode from (say) wuarchive, to my local VAX/VMS system. Then I dwonload
them using MacKermit, to the Mac. 

Problem: Files (which are xxxxxx.SIT) appear as docs (if got into data fork) or
appls (if got into resource fork) and Stuffit ignores them. I made a stuffit
archive locally and sent it up to the VAX, and the files appeared Quite
Different!!! 

What do I do a) in getting from WUARCHIVE
			 b) in gettting to the Mac ??????


Sorry if this is a trivial question, but Macs are a closed book to me. Yes by
the way, I did a binary download too.....!
