I am new to getting Mac public domain software from the net, so please
pardon what must be a naive question.  I am using xbin and macput via
a UNIX system to get the files and massage them.  I notice a number of the
files state that binhex of a particular vintage should be run on the Mac
to massage the files.  To what extent are these files compatible with
xbin?  Some seem to work and others don't.
						Thanks
