I have some files that have been encoded with BinHex. Can someone tell me where I can get BinHex?? (Or mail it to me, if you can in good conscience). Please reply by E-mail Thanks :wq

How does one use binhex on files downloaded? Do you need to edit of the "text" headers/trailers from the archive files? Do you concatenate the files from a multipart distribution before running binhex, or is the program smart enough to do the right-thing...? Is there any documentation that I can download on the care-and-feeding of binhex? Thanks, Al Lehotsky

I am not a Macintosh user, but in the course of seeking out PostScript fonts, I ended up downloading (via ftp) a number of intriguing fonts. Unfortunately, I found them to be BinHex'ed. I tried to apply an algorithm similar to uudecode, but this resulted in absolutely nothing I could recognize. Some of these fonts are Type 1, others Type 3; I suspect that at least with Type 3 fonts I should be able to recognize where the resource fork ends and the file data begins. Can anybody help me out? Please? A brief description of the algorithm and Binhex format (v4.0) would be all I require; alternately some source code). Responses by EMAIL, please: I don't subscribe to this group.
