I agree with everything said.

I would note that BinHex 4.0 tries to do compression, therefore
running a PackIt II file through BinHex 4.0 probably doesn't
gain much.  Any redundancy taken out of the original file 
("compression") done by P II will reduce the compression of 4.0.

And, of course, Mr. Chelsey did everyone a favor with PackIt, but
later decided to see how to cash in with shareware.
