Thanks to all those who reponded to my plea for BinHex.  It looks like
BinHex is public domain, but a better implementation is in the shareware
program StuffIt.

sumex-aim.stanford.edu seems to be the place to go to get this stuff.

Thanks again!

You can get it from sumex-aim.stanford.edu (36.44.0.6)

Binhex is now at 5.0, but my 5.0 is refusing to generate correct hex files
for upload.  However, the binhex protocol has been incorporated into StuffIt
1.5.1.  If you do not have that version of StuffIt (which does code and decode
correctly), you could ftp it from sumex.stanford.edu.

Do you spacifically need binhex?  Stuffit will handle binhex files.
go to "other" in the menu and you'll see the binhex options.

You can find most any public domain or shareware mac program in the
info-mac archives on sumex-aim.stanford.edu (look in the info-mac/help
directory for instructions).

Instead of binhex 4, I suggest you get stuffit (current version is
1.5.1).  It's a shareware archive program and, among a great many
other things, it can decode binhex 4 files.  It is a de facto standard
in the mac world.
