Since it seems the BinHex file format is catching on quickly
as the mode for sharing macintosh binaries, several people
have suggested that it would save time downloading them if
they were converted back to binary first. In addition,
converting on your typical un*x machine will go faster than
on the mac.
So, I've posted the sources for "xbin" to net.sources. It
is designed to massage a .hex file into a form that macput
can easily pass to MacTerminal. There are a few rough edges,
but most of the code was borrowed freely from macput and
macget, and (famous last words) it works on all the files
I've tried. xbin.shar has also been sent to sumex-aim
for arpa peaople.
