The MacBinary standard is very similar to the old "triad" standard
originally used by MacTerminal, and emulated by macput.  The major
difference between the MacTerminal protocol and MacBinary is that the
MacTerminal protocol sends the info, data, and rsrc "forks" as
individual XMODEM files;  MacBinary sends 'em all together.

So,  you should be able to do the follows:

	cat foo.info foo.data foo.rsrc >/tmp/foo
	sz /tmp/foo

No guarantees... but, as I read the MacBinary standard, this should work
just fine.
