Short: Mac .bin/sit/cpt/hqx/sea conversion (PPC), incl. source
Type: util/arc
Uploader: Andreas_Kleinert@t-online.de
Author: (various, see below)
mcvert runs under UNIX and converts between different representations
of Mac files. One very common conversion is between BinHex4.0 and
MacBinary.
More details regarding file formats may be found in the mcvert.1 man
page, but basically, there are native Mac files that live (only) on
the Mac (since they have interesting internal structure), and
representations of Mac files.
Files are often identified by extensions, those .ext suffixes at the
end of the name. Common suffixes include:
.bin MacBinary
.sit StuffIt
.cpt CompactPro
.hqx BinHex4.0
.sea self extracting archive
Well, this now is a port for powerUP (TM) PPC systems,
based on the original unix sources.
ELF binary is called "xbin.elf", "e" bit already set
(so that you can run it directly from Shell using the
ElfLoadSeg patch - otherwise please use "RunElf").
For source changes necessary for the PPC port, please
take a look into "changes.powerup".
The program itself hopefully still does work fine...
This is V1.1 of the port - see "changes.powerup" for details
