I have xbin which takes a .hqx file and converts it into the three data files:
.info, .data, & .rsrc. What I want is to convert xbin straight to a binary
file so I can then do a straight ftp to my mac with TelNet and not have to
do any of the conversion on the Mac.

Is there a hidden switch which the documentation doesn't mention or another
utility which will do this?

What I'm eventually shooting for is to take a file.hqx and feed it to a script
which will binarize it, determine if it is a file.sit, unstuff it and then
ship the file(s) off to my Mac.  

If anyone has done this already, or has any suggestions, please let me know.
