Since my posting about a couple of comp.binaries.mac postings being bad, I've gotten a couple of messages from people telling me what I should be using to convert stuff. These messages ignore a couple of facts about xbin and StuffIt, which I think are worth pointing out. xbin has an option (-b) that for all practical purposes makes it the equivalent of mcvert. StuffIt is capable of decoding (and encoding) BinHex 4.0 files (except for some very strange special case that breaks). It is also capable of unpacking PackIt format files. The corrupted postings we got here are definitely corrupted. The last two lines of the TappyType posting are as follows: 6B!KJ!4+#!!X5X+!"#b*3)"Qk,,LIJ`iXf#'((J,"Rhm!`L!JJ3BLU+#$$6iBiB3 9ATLKJaZ'm+'0)B))$DL%J3-R$j8mF-U!!)(#6J`A-Q+ND)!L$!JhEqLd+$ There's no trailing : and no trailing --- line (and Roger is pretty consistent about doing this kind of thing). In any case, could someone send me the TappyType and StackDoc postings? -- David Elliott dce@sony.com | ...!{uunet,mips}!sonyusa!dce (408)944-4073 "You can lead a robot to water, but you can not make him compute."
