- Short: McBinary and HQX translator
- Author: Doug Moore, adapted for AmigaOS by Michael van Elst
- Uploader: mlelstv@serpens.rhein.de
- Type: util/conv
-
- The Apple Macintosh stores each file in 2 parts, a resource
- part and a data part. The resource part is managed by the
- operating system while the data part is managed by the application.
-
- To transfer Macintosh files via systems that use a more conventional
- paradigm (i.e. the rest of the world) one can pack both parts into
- McBinary or HQX format. The HQX format consists only of printable
- ASCII characters similar to what uuencode produces.
-
- Mcvert can extract both parts from such packed files and can also
- pack pairs into a McBinary file.
-
- The file mcvert.1 contains the nroff input for the UNIX man page.
- The result can be found in nroff.0 for those who do not have a
- working nroff.
