I am looking for a program to run on my unix machine that will create
an "info" fork for me.

My goal is to be able to transfer APL workspaces from an Amiga or an
Atari ST to the Mac.  (I have already moved workspaces from the Mac
to the Atari.)

I think that I want to use unxbin to bundle
the APL workspace as a DATA fork, together with
an empty RSRC fork and a valid INFO fork, to create a mailable file
that can be used by any Mac user who has HEXBIN.

What I can not do yet is create the 128 byte "info" fork.

Any help you can give would be appreciated.
Thank you.
