Summary: Yes, BinHex is going in!


Ray is indeed putting BinHex capability into the next version of
Stuffit.  He is working on it right now and since the BinHex code
is very small < 7K, it should not take up much room in the code...
Maybe now you comp.sys.mac flamers will be satisfied? :-)

Anyway, speaking about BinHex, I probably did the strangest thing
that I ever did before in my computing career...

Ray sent me a message and said that he only had BinHex 5.0 and that
he needed BinHex 4.0 that did 7th bit encoding...so he asked me if
I had it so that I could send it to him..well I did have it.
Well, posting it on a BBS and having him call it would have been
a rather inefficient way of doing it, so what did I do?

Yes, I Stuffed BinHex 4.0 and then BinHexed it..so I BinHexed BinHex
so Ray could dehexify it with 5.0 and then unstuff it.  Well, that
was very logical, but hexifying the very program that you need to
unhexify seems rather odd to me!
