Are you sure you got Shrinkit and not Stuffit?  As far as I know, sumex
only carries Mac software.  Try ftp'ing to husc6.harvard.edu or 
him1.cc.umich.edu to get Shrinkit.

BinHex and BinSCII are different.  There is source code (in C) for a
program called sciibin, which you can get from husc6 (in the Unix directory).
If you compile this prog on your VAX (soon to be a Sun), you can un-Binscii
files on the VAX and download them as binary.  However, it's probably
easier (but slower) to just download the text files (binscii'ed) to your
Mac and then un-Binscii them on the Apple II.
