I've started working on a possible EXECUTIONER replacement. It uses
6-bit codes, but it won't barf on the ascii-ebcdic conversion as it
uses only alphanumeric codes. It won't make EXEC files, so it will
work more in the likeness of BINHEX on the mac. I don't see it being
any more complicated to use than executioner currently is, and it will
be more reliable, as I'll put CRC error checks into the output file.
The propsed name for it will be BINSCII, unless too many people find
that to be silly. Do you all approve, or should I just punt it? I've
already worked out the major parts of the program, I just need to
perfect the user interface. I'm also trying hard to make it
compatabile for use on all //s. (jeez it's hard to avoid those 65c02
codes!)

thanks for any opinions...
