Neither is macput/macget format, of course.  Now here's a question for you.
Could I use BinHex5.0 on a mac file, download it to a Vax using vanilla
xmodem, then use a vanilla XModem on the file on the Vax and 
RedRyder in MacBinary on the Mac to upload it to the Mac, ending with a
perfect copy of my entire application?  If not, what good is BinHex50?
