[comp.sys.mac.apps] Looking for person collecting App Fil Exchg translators

johnston@minnie.me.udel.edu (04/22/91)

Recently I read that someone was attempting to collect
and document translator documents for "Apple File Exchange".
I am working on a related project that would be of 
mutual interest, hopefully of use to netters as well.

Please e-mail if you have any AFE translator info ...
Thanks,  Bill (johnston@minnie.me.udel.edu)

Sure, for instance, do you know of translators that can:
	- make a Mac file out of a MacBinary file (I have one that does only
	the opposite)
	- decode BinHex 
	- unpack Stuffit archives
	- do both
	- are quick
	?
