Mac Binary

This StuffIt archive contains the MacBinary application and a MacWrite document. Some methods of downloading MacBinary files (FTP to a Mac, for example) can only download to the data fork of the Macintosh file. The MacBinary program will translate such data files into their correct components (info,data,rsrc). There is an Upload feature to translate a Mac file into a MacBinary data file, suitable for uploading via FTP. The True MacBinary setting is for the case of catenating the three pieces of a MacBinary file on unix into one text file prior to downloading. With some versions of xbin and macget, the resulting forks on unix are not padded out to the 128 byte blocks that the MacBinary standard specifies. Turning True MacBinary off will handle this case. The MacBinary utility will only create True MacBinary II files for Uploading, regardless of the True MacBinary setting. The Delete after Download setting will delete the input data file after successfully translating it to a Macintosh file. This is version 1.0.1. Please feel free to post this package on other servers. It's freeware. +----------------------------+------------------------------------+ | Greg Smith | BITNET: smith@bucknell.bitnet | | Systems Analyst | smith@bknlvms.bitnet | | Bucknell Computer Services | INTERNET: smith@bucknell.edu | | Bucknell University | smith@coral.bucknell.edu | | Lewisburg, PA 17837 | AT&Tnet: (717) 524-1801 | +----------------------------+------------------------------------+
