This is in c.s.a.intro as well as in c.s.a.datacomm, since it's a borderline FAQ - Does anyone have a utility to un-BinHex files? Explanations: BinHex is a file utility like uuencode, which is popular for Macintosh files. The files which use it have ".hqx" on the end. I would like it ON the Amiga, in order to better access (and convert) goodies like Mac PS fonts and the like, as gotten from ftp sites. I don't need an un-SIT utility (unless you have one that can handle UnStuffit_1.5.1's RLE compression,) thanks. We have a C compiler (and Fortran if necessary) if you wanna send source. Thanks in advance. -- Robin LaPasha |Keeper of the Amiga ruslan@ecsvax.uncecs.edu |Hypermedia Mailing List

I haven't tried it because I haven't transfered any mac files to my machine yet, but I'm thinking in transfering some fonts. I'll send you the in-binhexer, but I also need the un-siter for compressed files, so if you can send me that I'l be plenty happy :) Gustavo Cordova -- | From Mexico!

Oh yah, in case anyone cares, I needed BinHex once, and I just downloaded the Unix UnBinHex and it compiled without any problems under Aztec 3.6a which I used at the time. So if anyone needs it fast, just get it and compile it. It is probably on comp.sources.unix or on simtel20 or uunet.uu.net. I got my copy from venera.isi.edu, but donno if it is still available there. Oh yah. Don't have it anymore, sorry. :) -- --- Valentin Popescu SnailMail Address: vpopesc@neptune.calstatela.edu P.O.
