XBIN.EXE - hexbin to useful format converter. Re-port of a re-port of
a UNIX utility apparently by Dave Johnson (Brown University)
xbin.exe can be used to translate those annoying BINHEX'd mail messages
that your annoying Mac friends keep sending. This recompile of an old
program converts them to three files, only one of which is useful, the
.data fork. Use "xbin -help" to get a man page listing. Since this is
for OS/2, HPFS support is assumed and names will not be truncated to 8.3.
Filenames to be translated may be wildcarded (ie. xbin *.hmq works).

Files in this distribution:
readme.os2 The file you are reading now
xbin.c OS/2 (or UNIX) source code
xbin.exe OS/2 executable (CSET/2)
makefile CSET/2 makefile
binhex4.inf Explanation of the BinHex 4.0 file format
original.zip Earlier DOS/1.2 OS/2/UNIX versions and documentation
This xbin.c has been modified to be ANSI/POSIX compliant and recompiled
using the IBM CSET/2 compiler. Files are now fully supported as HPFS
filenames (though spaces are still translated to _ for ease of use in
command line environments).
The original UNIX files, and the 16 bit link by Kari Likovuori are
included in the zip file. Only the original source, the makefile, and
the 2.1 executable are provided here. This source code may be equally
built on any POSIX/ANSI compliant system.
By whatever power is vested in my by whatever authorities, I grant
whatever rights I might possibly have to whoever might possibly be
able to receive such rights, subject to the rights and constraint of
rights owed and owned by all previous rights holders of all previous
codes used herewithin. Hope the lawyers are happy hereunto and
hereforevermore.
