I uploaded the program from the net awhile ago that took a file and stripped
	everything out of it that is not part of the actual binhex code. What
	it appears to do is look for the header line and strip everything that
	is before it. If a line begins with '---' and that is all that is in
	the line then it begins stripping again until the next ofccurance of
	it. Sooo, what I do with multi-part binhex documents is

		cat MacMan.?.b |bhcomb>MacMan.xmt

		WHERE
			the MacMan files are MacMan.1.b thru MacMan.6.b
			and the output is MacMan.xmt

If you create an alias for this all you have to do is

		bh MacMan.?.b MacMan.xmt

I find it works great, except for one very livable bug. If the ending colon
	(which is how it terminates the capture) is at the end of a line it
	will report that there is no end colon.

I have found this program to be the most useful tool for uploading from the
	net. My compliments to the author!
