There is an unbinhexer (?) available on SIMTEL20, in the directory PD1:<MSDOS.MAC>. It's in the file xbin23.zip, and it can take them apart and give you a file. The source is also available for Unix systems, and I think it's somewhere else on simtel, but where I'm not sure. If you don't know how to access simtel, just browse through the last few day's articles in this group, and someone will have posted the instructions. Xbin should do what you're trying to do. There are a few other utilities in the same directory to help with other Mac formats, such as Stuffit and one other compressor that I'm not familiar with. Mac's aren't one of my strong points. If you have any problems, or more questions, send me mail, and I'll see what I can do. -- Scott A.

Decode them on a unix machine with "mcvert", or on a Macintosh with BinHex 4.0 or StuffIt. -- Bill (johnston@oscar.ccm.udel.edu)
