[Pesticidal verbiage]

   It looks as though the binhex format is becoming the de-facto standard
for transfer of Mac files.  That being the case, I would like to have a
filter which runs on unix to convert to/from Mac binary.  Has anyone
written such a beast?  If not, can anyone provide me with the specs for
translation to and from binhex format?  Specifically the compression scheme
and the crc calculation.  It's a real pain to have to translate a file
after downloading it, especially since macput will transfer the binary
which is only about half as big.
