[comp.sys.mac.apps] Looking for BinHex for MS-DOS

true@elbereth.rutgers.edu (Frederick True) (11/03/90)

Has anyone out there seen a version of BinHex that works in an MS-DOS
environment? I am trying to use some of the sound-files (Re-mac, etc.) from
several archive servers, but all of them (in the info-mac directories) have
been BinHex-ed - and I don't have anything to "HexBin" them, so to speak. I
do have an unstuff program that works in MS-DOS, so I'm ok as far as that
goes.

Any pointers to existing software (if any) will be appreciated! Please
e-mail me at the address below. Thanks!

from ftp, look in Sumex, but the mailserver LISTSERV@ricevm1.rice.edu is
a mirror image of sumex.

There are unix utilities there which should be readily usable on MS-DOS.

send

$MACARCH GET UNIX/UNXBIN.SHAR
$MACARCH GET UNIX/XBIN.SHAR

and wait a few days, as little as a couple of hours depending.  If you
have BITNET access, you can get them instantly.
