I need a program to un-binhex a MacPaint file transferred to a VAXstation
running VMS 5.0-1.  It is a "snapshot" of the Mac desktop, transferred to
a mainframe VAX via Kermit and then over our local ethernet to the VAXstation
via FTP.  Image is then run through a filter program and into Interleaf
technical publishing software, but it is getting screwed up in the transmission process.  I was told that when transferring Mac binaries I should covert them tohex first (BINHEX it in Mac parlance), but I need to be able to convert it back once it gets to the VAXstation.

Tx if you can help out!
