Set Aux Binary

set-aux-binary is a freely redistributable utility that sets the type and creator of input files to 'BIN '/'A/UX'. This permits binary files downloaded to a Mac partition to be copied to an A/UX unix partition without invoking A/UX's automatic carriage-return-to-newlines conversion, which can cause file corruption. usage: in the System 7.x Finder, drag-and-drop icon(s) representing unix binary file(s) onto the set-aux-binary icon. set-aux-binary is based on ctc 1.2 by Brian Bechtel, with minor changes: its TextEdit boxes for user input default to 'BIN '/'A/UX', which saves keystrokes, and it touches the parent folder to update the Finder icons. Note that set-aux-binary won't repair a binary file that has been mistakenly downloaded in ascii mode to a MacOS partition. In such cases, see the A/UX FAQ, available on jagubox.gsfc.nasa.gov in /pub/aux, for detailed instructions and try, try again ... - Bill (johnston@me.udel.edu)
