Message-ID: <504@ut-sally.UUCP> Date: Mon, 17-Dec-84 14:44:18 EST Article-I.D.: ut-sally.504 Posted: Mon Dec 17 14:44:18 1984 Date-Received: Tue, 18-Dec-84 07:09:56 EST Distribution: net Organization: Vogon Construction Area Lines: 13 [Pesticidal verbiage] It looks as though the binhex format is becoming the de-facto standard for transfer of Mac files. That being the case, I would like to have a filter which runs on unix to convert to/from Mac binary. Has anyone written such a beast? If not, can anyone provide me with the specs for translation to and from binhex format? Specifically the compression scheme and the crc calculation. It's a real pain to have to translate a file after downloading it, especially since macput will transfer the binary which is only about half as big.
