[comp.sys.mac.apps] Does Compactor do BinHex?

derosa@motcid.UUCP (John DeRosa) (11/07/90)

I like compactor more that the shareware version of Stuffit 
except for one detail....compactor will not decode or encode
binhex.  At least no reference is made to binhex in the manual
or the menus.

Am I correct?  This will make getting software from/to the 
archives a bit of a pain having to use two programs to both
(un)archive/(un)binhex the file(s).

I can't speak for Bill Goodman, the author of Compactor, but he mentioned 
in a recent posting on CompuServe that he plans to support both BinHex and 
file split/join in his next major release.

He was also fishing around on UseNet a few weeks ago for the docs
for Binhexing...
