      I notice in the Mac Server that there are programs to break apart
PIT and SIT files for Unix - has anyone ported these to the Apple II line
so that WE can break apart Mac files which have fonts, etc in them?  There
is also a little ditty that turns a MacWrite document into a text file
(with scribe or troff text formatting instructions).  That would be a nice
port as well, especially if it did something nice with MacPaint-ings like
output them in some sort of text fashion (dont know if it does or not -
am hoping to find out soon though!).

Finally, there is a unix pgm to create BinHex text files from Mac binaries
and to turn binaries into BinHex - know of anyone who has ported THAT to
Apple II?  Seems like porting utilities to manipulate Mac files would be
a great opportunity for folks - cannot understand why they arent taking it.
