NOTE: BinHex4 and 5 were not available on RASCAL for a while, and I just
uploaded them again; however, I expect that you should be able to
find it on just about every dial-up BBS .... the UNIX-utilities
are another story, of course ...
I may follow-up in more detail to the article later (regarding
incorrect instructions in SIMTEL-HowTo-file, etc...)
...in the meantime, here is what's available on RASCAL related to
your communications needs, and an example session of how to get it.
if you have trouble reaching RASCAL with FTP, blame the network
disruptions caused by Wednesday's virus, and/or talk to your
communications guru ... that's the only way he'll learn about
such problems .... and gets motivated to do something about them.
If you want to see something in comp.binaries.mac, tell the moderator
(bytebug@dhw68k.cts.com seems, once again, not to reach Roger;
I suspect that is result of the virus-scare and may be temporary;
meanwhile, the most reliable path to reach Roger that I know of,
is via ics.uci.edu as felix!dhw68k!bytebug@ics.uci.edu,
and the former address felix!macintosh@ics.uci.edu if it still
exists; otherwise try felix!dhw68k!macintosh@ics.uci.edu)
If you have uploads that you want to make available to the net,
you can mail them to me (best to macgifts@rascal.ics.utexas.edu)
and I relay them to everyone else .... (I've had requests for the
most recent version of ACTA-Reader, if anyone has it handy ..)
below first a quick glimpse on what's available with FTP
from RASCAL, followed by a sample FTP-session to RASCAL to snarf
BinHex4, both binary and hexed ASCII-text version ...
