[comp.protocols.appletalk] fastest way to go from binhex to CAP format?

barnett@grymoire.crd.ge.com (Bruce Barnett) (07/03/90)

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?
