[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] Want a PC BinHex Program...

mauler@kuhub.cc.ukans.edu (04/03/91)

I was wondering if anyone had a program for the PC to convert Macintosh 
BinHex format files (either into UUENCODE or into an actual file).

I do a lot of scanning and retouching on the Macintosh, but I would like to 
do some animation using a PC, and the only way to convert seems to be 
BinHexing the pictures, sending them over an ASCII-only line, and then 
reconversion.  I can do this just fine in the wrong direction (there is a
UUDECODE for the Macintosh), but there isn't an UnBinHexer for the PC or
a Macintosh UUENCODER.  If anybody knows of either, please reply or post it
to comp.binaries.ibm.pc.
