[comp.sys.mac.apps] Combining Multiple Binhex Files???

derosa@motcid.UUCP (John DeRosa) (02/06/91)

Is there a tool that will combine multiple binhex files
into a single file other than a text processor and cut and
paste?

Thanks, John

I think you are looking for something like *macbinfilt*. It is a unix tool
included in the sit.shar file. See the following announcement:

XThis shar file contains the source to "sit" a UNIX utility which produces
XStuffit archives for downloading to the mac.  As a bonus I've also included
X"macbinfilt", a filter which takes articles from comp.binaries.mac, puts the
Xparts in the correct order, and throws out all the "noise" lines.
X
XTo use the sit code you need the getopt(3) library routine and the compress(1)
Xutility, both of which most everyone seems to have by now.
X
XThere is not much original code here: everything is reverse engineered from
Xthe unsit utility by Alan Weber.  The updcrc.c file is exactly the same file
Xfrom the unsit package.
X
XI've tested the code on both BSD and SYSV machines. Both machines were big
Xendian so byte order problems may still be lurking.

You need BinHqx 1.02.  This is a DA that does "join and decode".  Try FTPing
it from sumex-aim.stanford.edu.  If you can't find it, contact me by email,
and I'll get it to you.  BTW, I tried a couple of times, and couldn't get
any mail to you. Hmmmmm...
