[comp.sys.mac] comp.binaries question

poleary@bonnie.ics.uci.edu (Petey O'Leary) (02/04/89)

I have not been able to find a way to retrieve the files that are sent
to comp.binaries.mac (the ones that start with "You must use Binhex..."
or some such). Could someone please describe to me the steps I need
to take in order to bring the code down to my Mac?

Thanks in advance.

1. If the files comes in several part, concatenate them.
2. Strip all garbage between parts in concatenated file,
   and at the end of file.
3. (Suggested) Save header for future use.
4. Convert file with BinHex (if its a BinHexed file), or,
   if that does not work, using "convert BinHex file" feature
   in StuffIt.
