You can even use Stuffit (with or without compression).  Since Stuffit
archives only occupy the data fork, you can get away with this:

Mac -> IBM -> Amiga -> AMAX

This way you don't get the file becoming outrageously large which can
happen with 'BinHex'.  Works perfectly for me.

If you're using a mainframe accound, you're stuck with uploading an
outrageously large binhex file and then downloading it again to AMAX.  I
did this for a while but when AMAXII came out with the transfer
software, I use the mac>ibm>Amiga>AMAX method and it works every time.
