There is a program that converts the foo.{info,data,rsrc} files into a
MacBinary file called foo.bin.

Thus using xbin and macbin [the name of the program] in a shell script you can
do what you want.

As macbin is small [80 lines of C code] perhaps it might be worthwhile
reposting it for those that have missed it.
