What is BinHex 4.0, and where can I get it? I got the VIRUSREM PACKAGE from listserv@scfvm, since there is this wonderful little apple virus going around, and according to the directory file, a lot of the files in it are for apples. Since all the files have a line at the beginning saying "BinHex 4.0 must be used on this file" or something like that, I assume such a program runs on an Apple. True?? If it's a mainframe program, I have access to unix, VMS, and VM/CMS. Andy Tefft

Binhex 4.0 is, I believe, a Mac program that serves the same purpose for Mac files that Binary II serves for Apple II files. ARPA: stein%uconnvm.bitnet@mitvma.mit.edu Alan H.
