   The combining program I posted a while back didn't require
special delimiters to work properly.  I'd be surprised if the "spiffy 
programs" subsequent to mine were any dumber.  Since you know what 
the line length of the binhex fragments are by the time you get to 
the end of the first part, you can spot the beginning to the next 
part very reliably. (There are other heuristics that can also be 
used .)
