A not so simple problem. How to bootstrap.

xbin: a unix program which creates a macterminal image for use with
macput or macget (I forget the order, haven't used them in a while).
However you could do a binary download of the .rsrc to create a file on the
mac, and use Resedit to coerce it to be an APPL.

binhex.hqx: The binhex program in it's own format. To be bootstrapped per
above.

or
macbin: a unix program to convert the output of xbin to a MacBinary
format for downloading via a MacBinary compatible terminal emulator
such as freeter, MacTerminal 2.0, Versaterm, Red Ryder.

I can supply xbin source, nxbin source(a varient of xbin), macbin source
for unix, macput and macget source for unix, and binhex.hqx. Only macbin
is of my own efforts, the rest is due to a large Mac 'memory'.
