I've put a little shellscript that tries to do this at the end of this
posting.  It's slower than bhcomb and combine (the c programs posted
recently), but not by much, and it's dumber but seems more reliable.

I'm not sure quite what you're asking for.  nxbin will unbinhex multiple
files if you put more than on one the command line; it's easy enough to
fix the other unbinhexers to do this with something like
	foreach i (*)
		xbin $i
	end
but nothing will catenate the parts of multi-part postings correctly in a
single step.  But I thought binhex DID create macbinary files directly.
