Isn't BinHex a form of encoding?

Yes. I should have been more clear in my first sentence. I should have said, "BinHex is an encoder, not an archiver."

It decodes just fine, but whenever I encode I get this message
end of file detected reading 131072 bytes at offset 0 from "Daleks"

I don't know. Maybe that's a package. Forked files should not be a problem. OS X knows how to deal with them.

If I have a file named foo.txt in my directory, this command works just fine on it:

Code:

binhex encode foo.txt
