Hi,

I run a bulletin board system for macs and have been storing files in
Binhex format. I have recently become aware that BinHex almost doubles
the size of the files, which does not help out my hard disk situation
nor does it help my users as the download time is greater. I've heard
that MacBinary is a much better way to handle it for BBS purposes (but
not E-mail). I don't know anything about Macbinary though. Can someone
please give me a few pointers and tell me what steps I need to follow
to prepare files for my system?

Thanks,

Mike
