Yet another version of "unix-xbin.shar" has been posted to <info-mac>
and to net.sources.mac.

The first one had an embarrassing number of problems, including
misspelling the USG routine strrchr (without the trailing 'r'),
forgetting to close files, and not resetting eof when trying to
read the second .hqx file in a row.  My apologies for any
inconvenience, especially to anyone who might have run into these
bugs.

As usual, please continue to report any problems,
suggestions, or improvements to me.

P.S.  If you're trying to download the banana system, you must
download the DeskTop .hqx file and binhex it on a fresh disk with
standard System and Finder as instructed in Info-Mac V2 #21;
then after booting another disk and removing the standard System
and Finder, the other three files can be run through xbin and
downloaded via MacTerminal.  If you download the binary DeskTop,
MacTerminal will call it "DeskTop (Via MacTerminal)" rather
than replacing the existing DeskTop, which doesn't work with the
new System and Finder.
