Greetings,
I've finally bought myself a magic sac [just in time to find out a
128k version is coming out :-( ] and I'm looking for a way to get
"bootstraped " so I can start downloading some of the mac s/w that comes
across on the net. I need a copy of binhex and a communications program in
magic format so I can xfer mac binaries from the unix machine I use at work
directly into magic format files on my machine at home (using xmodem or
kermit).
I don't have ready access to a MAC at home to transfer files using
the Magic Sac cable, but the MACs at work are networked to our UNIX box,
so if I get binhex, and a communications program, I'll be able to transfer
files to magic format over the phone.
If anyone out there would be generous enough to help me, email me and
we can arrange for me to send a disk and return postage to you.
Alternatively, can some one give me the address of someone who sells
PD MAC software on MAGIC format disks?
My uucp address is: uunet!pilchuck!apcisea!hrsw2!lommen
uw-beaver!ssc-vax!shuksan!tahoma!hrsw2!lommen
Thanks in advance to anyone who responds.

Current Notes magazine, which has some sort of affiliation with a bunch of east-coast Atari user groups, has a library of about 50 Mac titles in Magic format. Disk M2 has BinHex, FreeTerm, Stuffit, Packit, Kermit and TermWorks. Disks are $4 each plus $1 for shipping up to 6 disks. CN Library, 122 N. Johnson Rd., Sterling, VA 22170. Their magazine is worth looking into. Incidentally, it's typeset entirely on an Atari laser printer with Timeworks' publishing program.

The latest versions of Stuffit have BINHEX built in. You may be able to get it by calling a Mac BBS and using the mover or transverter to get it onto a magic format disk. Data Pacific now offers a Magic PD disk which probabaly has something that can handle it.
