Hi folks,
Can you give me directions how to send Mac files?
I tried it once, but ran into some trouble.
I did this:
I converted MyFile with Stuffit 1.5 to MyFile.sit.
I converted MyFile.sit with BinHex 5.0 to MyFile.sit.bin.
Via kermit I did send MyFile.sit.bin to the unix machine.
Then I looked at the layout of MyFile.sit.bin and compared it
withe a file from <comp.binaries.mac> and found the layout of the
files not equal. The file from <...mac> was a neat layout, all
the lines where of the same length, but MyFile.sit.bin was a
complete mess. What did i wrong? Any help is welcome.
Greetings,
Koos Remigius

Anybody know why? BinHex 4.0 is the "standard" and generates the text form you're after. StuffIt 1.5 has BinHex 4.0 conversion built-in (the Options menu, I think). >Koos Remigius Nick. -- Nick Rothwell, Laboratory for Foundations of Computer Science, Edinburgh. nick@lfcs.ed.ac.uk <Atlantic Ocean>!mcsun!ukc!lfcs!nick ~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ Hey, son, get that DeLorean off the track!
