I'm graduating from college soon (2 weeks!!!), and as a result, I've been furiously FTP-ing everything in sight so I don't have to pay huge dial-up fees after I graduate.... The problemis that after I spent acouple hours downloading and ftping, I end upwith a couple hundred files that I need to debinhex. I go into Stuffit (or binhex, depending on my mood), select "decode file", select the file, and wait a bit. Then I do it again. BOOORRRRING. Doing this for a couple megs worth of files is UGLY. Real ugly. Major ugly. Getting the init that freezes the SFthingy to the current place helped, but not much. What I need is some sort of simple utilitiy that will take a folder of files and massively de-binhex them. Errors would be recorded, so I could go back afterwards and fix the files that went bad, but otherwise everything would just be automates. Anyone know of any utility like this? Anyone want to write one? :-) And while you're at it, a mass unstuffit would be nice, too, since stuffit is the de facto utility now for downloading files.... thanx -- Laura Lemay ll12+@andrew.cmu.edu
