In a previous article, I asked if anyone had a bin <-> hex
program that works on SYS V (my employer's preference :-).

Well, I now have a copy of the GREAT mcvert program that
runs on SYS V (release 2), if anyone else would like it.
Hey, I suppose I could even post it.... (if enough response). 

I have two questions about the package:

1) The .bin's created by mcvert seem to change a little, and
   from poking around, seem to change the 'last modified date'.
   -- Is this correct behavior?  Or should this date field only be
      modified by the mac itself?

2) If I convert a hex file from the net to .bin, then back to
   .hqx, it is usually just a few bytes different from the
   original hex.  (I do mean in all those 64-byte lines, I
   *expect* the mail/news headers to disappear!) Is this part
   of the "looseness" of the BinHex standard, or could there
   be  a dormant bug here?
   Note: all subsequent .hqx -> .bin -> .hqx transfers produce
	 the exact same .hqx output....
