I've grown accustomed to using xbin on my Unix machine, cutting the time and Mac disk space required for downloading in half. Could the author of xbin.c possibly modify it to accept the new BinHex format and post the source (or diffs) to net.sources.mac? By the way, what advantages does BinHex 4.0 have over the previous version? David D.
