Time out, Jim.  Where can I find out more about the AppleLink attached
file format?  Y'know, there's a whole bunch of folks at MIT, UMinn, 
Berkeley, Stanford and UofI (my apologies if I've left anyone out :-))
working on POP-based applications for exchanging compound documents.  All
these approaches are relying on BinHex as the means of exchange (as far
as I can tell).  Seems to me we'd all profit from knowing a bit more about
what you're referring to.

BTW, thanks for the info on the applelink interconnect!
