These are mostly C source files (in .shar format). Anyway, I have unxbin xbin macbin unmacbin Together xbin and macbin will convert .hqx files to macbinary. unmacbin and unxbin go the other direction. .rsrc, .info, and .data files are used as an intermediate stage. My main use for these has been to check for munged files before I go through the pain of downloading at 1200 baud. Since my unix end refuses to deal in 8 bit characters I do all my downloading in straight text dump. I do this to avoid the overhead of kermit. Fortunately my line is clean, so I have yet to lose a file to noise. Jonathan Disclaimer: Some of the programs are quick hacks, so don't ask me how to make them run on your system, as I only know enough of unix to get by.
