I am currently writing an application that will perform batch de-binhexing.
For the past two or three months I have watched people post to various mac
groups asking for the 8 to 6 bit and 6 to 8 bit algorithms, but noone that I
know of has ever gotten a reply.  Did the inventor die and take the recipe
with him/her, or what?  Has Yves Lemperuer (author of Binhex 4.0 and 5.0) gone
to Saturn to live with Elvis?  I've got fairly kick *ss interface just waiting
to have a binhex engine dropped into it.  Does anyone out there have a friend
of a friend of a friend who knows the magic incantation?  Much thanks in
advance for any and all help.
