RE>BinHex 27.1.1995 10:47
----------------------------Original message----------------------------
Dobry den,
hladam program BinHex 4.0. Ak by ste vedeli, kde by
sa dal zohnat na sieti, bol by som Vam vdacny, keby
ste mi to oznamili na adresu geoflabi@savba.sk
Dakujem.
pro UNIXove prostedi
[6.5] Is there a UNIX program that will convert between BinHex and MacBinary?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, there are at least two that will handle BinHex 4.0, MacBinary,
and other conversions. macutil and mcvert are distributed as
UNIX shar archvies and can be found in the unix directory at
InfoMac sites. Source code is included (of course) so you will
need a C compiler to build the programs:
* macutil
macutil is a collection of utilities for manipulating Macintosh
files in MacBinary [see 2.2] or BinHex [see 2.3] format, or over
AppleDouble, AUFS, or CAP servers.
As of (8/92), macutil includes three programs:
o hexbin - a program to convert BinHex 4.0 to MacBinary;
it also converts uuencode (and UULite) files to their
native binary format; support for .dl, .hex, and .hcx
formats (all predecessors of BinHex 4.0) also exists
o macsave - a MacBinary filter program to convert
between various MacBinary representations, including
a single .bin file, three separate .data, .rsrc, .info
files, and AUFS format. macsave also allows one to
"peek" inside MacBinary files
o macunpack - a program to unpack PackIt, StuffIt,
Diamond, Compactor/Compact Pro, most StuffIt Classic
and StuffIt Deluxe, DiskDoubler, Zoom and LHarc/MacLHa
archives.
It also decodes BinHex 5.0, MacBinary, uuencode, and
UNIX compress (ie: .Z suffix) files (as well as variants
of compress implemented by various Macintosh compress
programs).
Support for password protected and/or multi-segment
archives of various types is minimal or non-existent.
The various authors of the macutil utilities are too numerous
to list here; consult the README files that come with the package
for the details.
* mcvert
mcvert allows you to convert BinHex files to MacBinary files
and vice versa. In addition, you can create MacBinary files
with empty resource forks from normal files, as well as perform
other transformations. mcvert can also decode PackIt
archives.
mcvert was originally written in 1987 by Doug Moore, but is
now maintained by Joseph Skudlarek, jskudlarek@std.mentorg.com,
who has fixed added many new features and made mcvert easier
to use. The latest version of mcvert is available at InfoMac
sites.
* xbin
xbin is an old program, similar to a primitive version of mcvert.
It converts BinHex files into a set of three files which model
the data, resource, and info forks of a Macintosh file; recall
that all of this information is contained in a single MacBinary
file (see [2.2]). Unless you have software that can reconstruct
a MacBinary file from these three separate files (mcvert will
do this), xbin will be pretty useless.
xbin is pretty dead on UNIX platforms, but VMS folk continue to
use it because, unlike mcvert of the macutil pacakge, xbin
compiles under VMS.
