[comp.sys.mac] Bin Hex Help Needed

idhg0834@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu (04/10/90)

 need some help with converting a downloaded file.

I downloaded Disinfectant 1.7, and now find I need Bin Hex 4.0 to
convert it.  What is Bin Hex?  I can figure for myself that it 
converts to Hexj!  Is it public domain?  Does anyone know where I can
get a hold of it?

Please help me, I wouild really like to be able to check my disk for
the neweest virueses!

Thanks (in advance...)

I assume that you have a copy of StuffIt? In that case, run StuffIt and select 
"decode BinHex file" from OTHER menu.
