     I am not now, nor have I ever been, a fan of MacBinary.

     Unfortunately, I've got some files that are in MacBinary format on a UNIX
machine, and I want to get them onto a Mac.  I typically connect to the UNIX
machine via NCSA telnet over AppleTalk, and therefore using a terminal
emulator that understands MacBinary is not an optimal solution (unless it
talks TCP/IP).
     Is there a UNIX program that understands MacBinary, and can translate it
to binhex format?  Failing that, I might be able to cope with the good old
SuMacC *.{rsrc,data,info} format.  (...Author pauses to remember the good old
days...)

     Please _mail_ me your responses.
