And the list continues...Would someone like to explain why we need all
these versions of binhex?? File compaction was an obvious advantage over
"fromhex" but binhex5.0!!  I still have copies of binhex3.0 ( in the
binhex2.0 format of course). And lord knows you cann't throw out any of 
the older versions. We still find postings compatible with binhex2.0 .  
So come on! What's the point to all this -):

P.S. How about someone posting a binhex5.0 version of Fromhex? This
would make the cycle complete. (Only kidding but I might be tempted
to do it.)
