Binhex/Hexbin - These programs encode/decode MacBinary into ascii text
so that programs, etc. can be e-mailed. They're in the same genre as
uuencode and atob. I have tested both of these and they seem to function
correctly.
Frommac/Tomac - It would appear that it is supposed to make uploading/
downloading files to a Mac easier. Xmodem is the only protocol sup-
ported. Unfortunately, tty.c references alot of Unix terminal stuff
which I have no idea how to port at this time. Maybe someone who really
needs this can make it work.
Macunpac - This is just about an everything dearchiver for Mac Files.
Unfortunately, many files are just too big, and need to be brocken
into smaller pieces to compile. Since there is already a binary
floating around for macunpack(Stuffit/Compactor), I've recompiled
a version with a few others (Packit, Shrink to Fit, Binhex 5.0, &
Compress it) and called it unmacpack (to differentiate from the other
version). If you want the others, you'll have to recompile it yourself.
I've not tested unmacpack since I don't have, and have never seen
those format files. Consider it a Beta. Both binaries are in the
CMDS directory for your convience.
MacSave/Macstream - Macstream takes files and creates a Macbinary
stream to stdout. Macsave saves a Macbinary stream recieved from
from stdin. I tested them briefly, and they appear to work.
Macbin - This is included in the CMDS directory for your convience.
This binary has been floating around, and I have no idea who wrote
or ported it. It will convert any file into a Macbinary file.
Unsit - Again, another binary floating around without source. It seems
to be based on the unsit source included in this archive. The port from
that source, done by me, is in the CMDS as unsit_DJL. A note about Unsit
tho. These versions of unsit require the presence of the unix compress
command (ports were done by TOPS I believe), and I seriously doubt that
you will find any .sit files they can dearchive. The newer .sit files
use a different compression algorithym;for them try the macunpac included
in CMDS. If that doesn't work, you're outta luck.
Mcvert - Converts between Binhex & Macbinary. It can have its uses.
Please see the readme.osk file in that directory for a bug report.
Read it first, or ya may be sorry later!
I have added #ifdef OSK, etc.. to the source files, and I have changed
all occurances of crc to _crc so that the compiler doesn't throw up
when it hits the crc() function in the OS9 Libs. Other than that, the
source files are unchanged. You will need the Blarslib Unix Compatibility
Library or something similar to compile these programs. Edit to suit.
My Binaries were compiled on a BlackHawk MM/1 w/3Megs & 68070 running
OS-9 V2.4
As usual, I guarrantee nothing about these programs. If your computer
explodes, an earthquake hits, or are attacked by marrauding aliens
after you fire up these programs, it's not my problem. I hope someone
can at least find some use for these programs. Good Luck, and Have at it!
