Yes.

Looking at the following disconcerting message at the start of any and
all files I d/lfrom there:

(This file must be converted with BinHex 4.0)

WS_FTP LE, 32-bit edition, version 4.01, by IpSwitch.  I got this
program from www.tucows.com (Russian mirror).

So far, I'm only using NULIB version 3.24, which usually can make and
undo .SHK and .SDK files, also. I notice the lack of distinguishing
characters normally inherent in NuFx archives, namely the 1st and 3rd
characters being "N" and "F", respectively.  I believe there was a
lengthy discussion about how others were having problems, because the
files were SHK'd with a Mac(?)
