First, the method I have been using. Get "mcvert" from sumex or elsewhere
and use it on your unix box to convert hqx files (it handles part?.hqx
pieces without any intervention) to SIT, PIT, etc bin files. Download
those binary files with a macbinary xmodem, ftp, etc and then use stuffit's
multiple file unstuffing capability.
Today I wrote the following c-shell "prog" to create "ready to go" binary
files from hqx files. Problem 1: hqx files have to be joined if they
are in parts. Problem 2: some icons are not making it on applications; I
don't know why. Problem 3: It handles only SIT files. OF course, you
must have xbin, unsit, unxbin and mcvert from sumex! Use at your own risk!!
===cut here====
#!/bin/csh
foreach f ($*)
echo "Running xbin on file "$f
xbin $f
echo "Completed xbin on "$f
foreach g (*[S,s][I,i][T,t].data)
echo "Running unsit on file "$g
unsit $g
echo "Completed unsit on "$g
rm -f $g:r.*
end
foreach g (*data)
echo "Running unxbin and mcvert on file "$g
unxbin $g:r
mcvert $g:r.hqx
echo "Completed unxbin and mcvert on file" $g
rm -f $g:r.data $g:r.info $g:r.rsrc $g:r.hqx
end
echo "Completed file "$f
end
echo "Completed all hqx files"
