Yup. I'll uuencode it and send it to you. :-) Actually, my submission to
comp.binaries.mac is either lost or rejected or waiting for Part 74 of 843
of some dumb commercial demo Hypercard stack to get sent out. (Really, c.b.m,
Boomerang is _free_! Why plug this new beast?) Perhaps someone should mail
me the submission address in case my file of usenet moderators is wrong.

That's kinda-sorta what BinHex is, m'boy. Probably somebody should extend
my uu stuff to encode MacBinary as well, but I'm too busy. If I can submit
the thing successfully, it will include source.
