I have been setting up a large CAP fileserver with a subset of the Sumex software. I found myself FTP'ing some files from a Unix machine to my Mac, onto the CAP file server. I stopped when I realized how stupid this was. There must be some way to go from binhex to CAP format without using a Mac. I have most of the Unix programs from Sumex. I use mcvert to convert BinHex files to MacBinary format. I need a Unix program that will convert a MacBinary formated file into the proper file .resource/file .finderinfo/file needed for a CAP server. I probably already have the program. The problem is finding out which one to use and writing a shell script to do this. Can someone save me some hours of head-scratching and tell me how to do this the easy way? A related question is: Is the three-part format of MacPut similar to the format of CAP, except for the name change? -- Bruce G. Barnett barnett@crd.ge.com uunet!crdgw1!barnett
