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.
