Actually, if you are converting .hqx files to plain .sit files, you'll want
"UnHexit!".

This thingie is a kazillion times faster than Stuffit Expander! Free too.
It can then launch Stuffit to complete the unstuffing if you want. I used
to get a lot of errors and freezes on occasion when unbinhexing with
Stuffit, not to mention having to wait forever at times. UnHexit is fast
fast fast.
