Not having used the various // compression/squeezing/etc'ing programs much,
my question is how to BinHex a file. E.g., I've got a DA that I want to
upload to comp.binaries.apple2. I use BLU to squeeze it and convert it to
binary (or maybe not squeeze it ['ts tiny!]). Now. What do I need in
order to generate a text file that can be exec'd from BASIC?
Thanks.

It is a ProDOS based program that will convert Applesoft programs into executable text files. It will also convert small to medium sized binary files into files that when exec'ed under Applesoft will recreate the original files. It should be availble on most Apple related or supportive BBS' (try Applelink PE). -- Matthew Lee Stier (919) 469-8300| Sun Microsystems --- RTP, NC 27560| "Wisconsin Escapee" uucp: {sun, rti}!sunpix!matthew |
