If you're running anything but a Mac, this is a wonderful encryption technique; no one else can read your source code, which makes sharing it with the net a limited utility operation. It also makes repacking into an lharc archive perform poorly. Does there exist (I checked for "binhex" as a string in a dump of the names in the comp.sources.unix and comp.sources.misc archives to no avail) a Unix version of binhex to unpack these files and put them into some useful archive format? (Same question for PKZIP, I suppose; I have several PKZIP archives I can't unpack but keep around in a grand burst of optimism.) Alternately, does there exist a clear text format description for BinHex files, and I'll roll my own unarchiver. Thanks; followups to comp.sources.d, or send email and I'll post a summary of anything interesting there in a week or so. "Me too's" to me by email, please; use some sense. Kent, the man from xanth.
