I would like to download Mac software to my NeXT cube, and then
transfer it to my Mac (either via DOS, directly from Mac floppies
when 3.0 comes out, FloppyWorks, etc...).
 
The Mac has this thing called MacBinary ( keeps track of file creator and
type and the data in a separate part). If I use binary to d/l to the 
NeXT and then move the files over to the Mac then I have to change
the type/creator using MacTools or whatever. This almost never works in
that .sit or .sea or .cpt files end up being corrupted. It only works 
with .hqx (which are text files within which you find the archive).
 
Does anyone know how to do this? Or even better, is there a program to 
massage the files on the NeXT before moving them to the Mac. One of
the problems seems to be CR's and LF's. Confusing. Going the other way
is fine (Mac->NeXT).

Any clues would be much appreciated.
