I have downloaded binscii several times from apples-l, and have come across
the same problem, but usually the program didn't crash, but just ended
after sending a number of returns to the screen.  One copy did, however,
download successfully.  It made a file called Binscii that was of type
SYS not BIN as the other ones that crashed were.  I suggest changing
the filetype (I thinks there is a filetype changer on apple2-l still) and
try running it then.

I noticed at the end of the exec files the same bsave commands.
Question: Why does one bsave save the file as a BIN and the other as a SYS?
