[comp.sys.mac] Mass unbinhexing & unstuffing

pophal@nicmad.UUCP (Gerry Pophal) (12/29/89)

   I haven't found a batch unbinhexer yet but would like any info you find.
For a batch unstuffit you can put all your stuffed files into a folder and
select all from finder (command-A) then double click one of the files and
immediatly hit the shift key. This will unstuff all of the selected files.
There is also a patch for stuffit to allow files to enter it when it is 
open under multifinder which is below. Also I recall a patch for stuffit
that selects the unbinhex dialog by hitting command-D which follows:

Quick tip.  If you find yourself de-BinHexing a hundred or so files with
Stuffit, you will certainly find the lack of a command key equivalent to
"Decode BinHex File..." irritating.  This is easy enough to patch.

Whip out ResEdit, go to the DATA resource in your copy of StuffIt (this is
REALLY dangerous if you mess it up, so work on a COPY if you're not sure
what you're doing), and change (command-G) "Decode BinHex File..." to
"Decode BHex File.../B" (NOTE THAT the "..." is a SINGLE character!).
The "/B" adds the equivalent "command-B" for this menu item.  DON'T change
the length of the string unless you like bomb boxes.

Now you can de-BinHex files without ever touching the mouse ...

end of tip.
 I am using stuffit 1.5.1 .
