This is going to sound really dumb but does anyone know if there is a binhex program for unix and if so where it might be and what it is called. I found a few programs that I would like to download but unfortunately thay are not binhexed (.hqx) and they won't download right any other way. Any help with this question should be mailed directly to me to avoid cluttering the newsgroup. Thanx rick@wam.umd.edu rick@wam.umd.edu All opinions stated belong to no-one (including myself)!

There is a program called mcvert -- which is available from the info-mac archives -- that will convert MacBinary files to and from BinHex format. Mcvert also converts data files to and from MacBinary format, and can thus be used to convert a data file to BinHex format. The command: mcvert -U -x FileName.bin will take the MacBinary file "FileName.bin" and produce the BinHex file "FileName.hqx". Hope this helps. -- Kevin C.

My employer seems to prefer Sys V :-). Does anyone have a version of mcvert or any other .bin converter that runs on System V (not BSD!!!). I *do* have xbin and mac{get,put} already. It would be nice to convert back and forth between BinHex and MacBinary. Thanks!
