[net.micro.mac] Plea for xbin.c compatible with BinHex 4.0

It seems that BinHex 4.0, not compatible with the earlier versions, is catching
on as a method for distribution.  I've grown accustomed to using xbin on my
Unix machine, cutting the time and Mac disk space required for downloading in
half.  Could the author of xbin.c possibly modify it to accept the new BinHex
format and post the source (or diffs) to net.sources.mac?

By the way, what advantages does BinHex 4.0 have over the previous version?
