Hiya.
I'm a longtime computer user who just recently got a Mac, got my hands on a
copy of Red Ryder 9.4 and started telecommunicating. I'm no newcomer to
usenet, but when searching through comp.sys.mac.binaries I found that
everything was encoded in something called BinHex!
What is BinHex?
How can I get it?
Why aren't those programs in MacBinary format, instead?
Thanks! I need it!
