This may be a question that's already been answered many times, but I'm new
to the net, so...

What I'd like to know is how to turn MacBinary files on a Unix system into
the standard BinHex format so that I can post a small program to one
of the mac.binaries newsgroups.

All BinHex does is convert the program into MacBinary format, which makes it
suitable for uploading using Kermit, but not suitable for posting.

Any help along these lines would be greatly appreciated.
