	The utility "xbin" converts binhexed files into binary files with
the names *.rsrc, *.data and *.info.  One needs to use Macterminal 1.1
file transfer format to download these files using "macput".  Does there
exist some other utility (or perhaps a newer version of xbin) that allows
one to translate binhex format files into MacBinary format files?  This would
be a good thing, since MacBinary is independant of file transfer protocol
and thus one could use a standard xmodem or kermit program that is already
on the system, rather than having to keep macput around, which is highly
Mac-specific.
	Just asking...
