I'm building a stack which converts a file with BinHex4, sends it to UNIX
host using MacTCP and SMTP, as well as receives mail from UNIX host using
POP2, converts it again and saves to a file. That is, an easy-to-use
HyperCard application for sending and receiving files via UNIX mail.
To get things work smoothly and to hide the technical "dirty" part of
this procedure, I need to implement BinHex4 or similar to my stack as
a resource ("open binhex4" doesn't help much). Anyone done this before?
Where can I find the source code?
BinHex4 is shareware. Has anyone experiences using shareware code in
one's own application? How is it done legally? Is it possible?
BTW: BinHex5 uses nulls, which prevents it being used (HyperCard uses
nulls as string terminators).
This is the fourth time I try to post this article. None of the previous ones
has succeeded yet. So, I'm sorry if I disturbed some parts of the net
by multiple postings..
