bison gnu source in old mac archive, how to extract

[twlevo]

came across a old source archive of gnu bison parser generator in a
cpt classic mac file type.
the file is Bison-1.18.cpt and can see with program strings on linux
it are the source files.
now would like to extract all source files and how can it be done ?
found compact pro but
that is not supported anymore and seems not to work on os-x,
http://www.cyclos.com/compactpro.htm

hope anyone can help or extract the source for me. currently only have
linux, mac os-x and windows
machines available but no access to older classic mac machines and its
software.

StuffIt Expander handles Compact Pro archives and runs on Mac OS X.

Thanks ! it worked using the linux unstuff program. it is bison ported
for older mac os:

Bison 1.18 for Macintosh OS (not A/UX, not MPW)
This archive includes full original source and the Think C project
needed to build Bison 1.18. It also includes a precompiled
application,
ready to roll. Please see the COPYING file for details about what
you are allowed to do to the code, and other GNU licensing
information.
This port does not need MPW in order to run; it runs by itself under
the MacOS. An MPW version is already available at finer ftp sites
near you.
Bison is tool to generate language parsers for compilers, command
interpreters, data file readers, etc. It is compatible with the
AT&T UNIX command "yacc" and generates better parsers.
I'm glad I could port this; enjoy!

You can get Bison (2.3) from Fink, but it is also installed in
developer tools (also 2.3).
