I would very much like to point out that StuffIt does allow multiple
"unstuffs".  You select the documents in the finder and double-click on
them with the SHIFT key down, and StuffIt unpacks them all.

Also, to the person that suggested getting the programs to unbinhex
files on Unix, thanks.  I finished unpacking the Tech Notes this
weekend, and had a major disk problem yesterday, and was not looking
forward to unpacking them again.  Now, with xbin and macbin from the
sumex archives, I should be able to get them back onto my system very
quickly (after which I will back them up!)
