- Has anybody managed to get mcvert running correctly under SCO Xenix? It
- compiles okay if you #define NOBYTEORDER and also #define NOBZEROCOPY in
- mactypes.h, but then doesn't work correctly to binhex/unbinhex files (it
- returns errors about writing too many bytes like this:
-
-
- Input file test.cpt.hqx
- Converting test.cpt type = "PACT", author = "CPCT"
- Created Sun Jan 24 08:12:07 1993
- Modified Sun Jan 24 08:12:07 1993
- hqx_to_bin_fork: writing 170 too many bytes
-
- last perror (may not be relevant): Error 0
- mcvert: exiting
-
-
- And the resulting file is considered to be "Damaged or in a format that this
- version of Compact Pro does not recognize." And when I try to binhex the
- Macbinary file, I get this:
-
-
- Input file test.bin
- Converting test.cpt type = "PACT", author = "CPCT"
- Created Sun Jan 24 08:12:07 1993
- Modified Sun Jan 24 08:12:07 1993
- fread failed on binfile
-
- last perror (may not be relevant): Error 0
- mcvert: exiting
-
-
- It would be nice if I could get mcvert running on my unix account so I could
- reduce the size of the .hqx files before I try to donwload them, but so far
- I've not met with what I would call overwhelming success.
-
- Anybody have any suggestions? Oh-- I'm using mcvert 1.89, I believe. At any
- rate, it's the one most-recently posted to sumex.
-
- Thanks.....
