Which is good, because there are Macutils available for that. Check
www.yahoo.com for binhex and hexbin. That should be all you need.

Cheers,
Robin

BinHex usually is for Macintosh files.
Unless it contains just data (text) you should transfer it to a Mac
on drop it onto StuffItExpander (currently at version 4.0.2).

But you can convert BinHex with mcvert - see page
http://trurl.npac.syr.edu/SGIfreeware/mcvert.html

You could get yourself Executor, the infamous Mac-Emulator... That one has
StuffItExpander built in...

Try to get a program named "mcvert" from a ftp-site. It's old but it
worked for me.

You have at least three choices:
a) xbin - available from sumex-aim.stanford.edu, and SUMEX mirrors,
   as /info-mac/cmp/hqx-to-bin-tool.shar,
b) mcvert - also available from SUMEX as /info-mac/cmp/mcvert-216.shar,
   and
c) macutils - available from mac.archive.umich.edu as
   mac/util/unix/macutil2.0b1.shar

All three packages work under SunOS 4.1 and Linux 1.x, 2.x.  mcvert is 
probably the most useful of these three.  The mac archives at UMich have
additional unix utilities to handle Mac files.

Later,
Ashok
