Is there an archive of binhexed GIF files? i.e. available for the Mac?

I've found lots of archives that have GIF files, but none of them are in .hqx
format. I FTP from my VAX and then download to my Mac. I tried to do this with
some of the GIF files, but it wouldn't work unless they were binhexed first.

I was looking in particular at wuarchive.wustl.edu. They have hundreds of GIF
files, but I can't seem to get any of them to work on my Mac.

Am I mistaken or is a GIF a GIF a GIF regardless of what machine you want to
view them on (IBM, MAC, AMIGA etc.) ?

I guess what I'm asking is this: How can I get these files, via a VAX, to work
on my Mac. Any suggestions would be helpful, and I'll summarize for the net.

Please respond directly as I rarely read this newsgroup.

Thanks
