- This StuffIt archive contains the MacBinary application and a MacWrite
- document. Some methods of downloading MacBinary files (FTP to a Mac,
- for example) can only download to the data fork of the Macintosh file.
- The MacBinary program will translate such data files into their correct
- components (info,data,rsrc). There is an Upload feature to translate a
- Mac file into a MacBinary data file, suitable for uploading via FTP.
-
- The True MacBinary setting is for the case of catenating the three
- pieces of a MacBinary file on unix into one text file prior to
- downloading. With some versions of xbin and macget, the resulting forks
- on unix are not padded out to the 128 byte blocks that the MacBinary
- standard specifies. Turning True MacBinary off will handle this case.
- The MacBinary utility will only create True MacBinary II files for
- Uploading, regardless of the True MacBinary setting. The Delete after
- Download setting will delete the input data file after successfully
- translating it to a Macintosh file.
-
- This is version 1.0.1.
-
- Please feel free to post this package on other servers. It's freeware.
