Ok, here's the deal. I have a Mac Classic II I'd like to play around with. Problem is

I don't have a pc with a floppy drive, nor do I have any HD floppies.

What I do have is an Apple IIgs. I have the Apple IIgs hooked to my serial port, and

I can copy anything I need to it via Zmodem. I also have the IIgs networked to the

Mac Classic II via AppleTalk. So I can copy any file I need from the IIgs to the Mac

hard drive.

Anyway, I see all this great software on the internet, but it's all in a BinHex or

MacBinary. I don't have anything on the Mac that will extract it. What's worse

is that the application I need to extract these formats is distributed in these

formats. So I'm kind of stuck.

When I was getting started with my IIgs, I was able to find a self extracting

copy of Shinkit, the standard archiver for the Apple II. Is there any such

self extracting Stuffit that I could get on my Mac to get this thing started?

Oh, BTW, the mac is running System 7.0.1.
