/mac/util/unix/ftpget.shar

  27      9/8/92    UnixShar

 

   A supplementary package for automated ftp'ing that requires

  90     8/16/92    UnixCompress

 

   UNIX package to automate FTPing chores such as retrieving all new

   files on mac.archive or sumex. Quite flexible.

   UNIX program to assemble the results of UT/UNSIT files into a

   downloadable MacBinary file.

   Useful for when apps like WhiteKnight hopelessly garble the text

   you're trying to up or download.

 

/mac/util/unix/maclayers.docs.txt

  33      8/4/92    Text

 

   Text file documenting how to install and use MacLayers on

   your Mac and Unix machines.

 

/mac/util/unix/maclayers.sit.hqx

 135      8/2/92    BinHex4.0,StuffIt1.5.1

 

   UNIX-Mac program to allow multiple shell windows over serial links.

   Works with csh only (for now) and includes its own simple terminal

   program. You need to get the shell archive (.shar) file and compile

   it on your UNIX system, then fire up the Mac program. Version 1.0.

 

/mac/util/unix/maclayers.unix.shar

 112      8/4/92    UnixShar

 

   The shell archive (.shar file) needed on your Unix account

   to use MacLayers.

 

/mac/util/unix/macps2.3.shar

  45      8/3/92    UnixShar

 

   UNIX utility to unmangle those stubborn Macintosh PostScript files

   So they'll print properly. Full docs included, but you need a copy

   of your LaserPrep file on your UNIX box.

 

/mac/util/unix/mactotex.tar.Z

  47    8/16/92     UnixCompress

 

   UNIX utility to allow the inclusion of Macintosh PostScript files

   in LaTeX and OzTeX documents.

 

/mac/util/unix/macutil2.0b1.shar

 405      8/3/92    UnixShar

 

   UNIX package to do various manipulations with Macintosh files on

   your UNIX box. Includes binary manipulation utilities, binhex

   utilities and uncompacting program for .cpt files.

 

/mac/util/unix/mcread1.01.tar.Z

  33       9/8/92   UnixCompress

 

   UNIX utility to convert MacWrite (compatible) files into ASCII text.

   

/mac/util/unix/mcvert1.87.shar

  81      10/1/92   UnixShar

 

   UNIX utility to handle BinHexed files (to and from) and MacBinary

   files (translations for up/downloads).

   Fixes a number of problems with version 1.80 and problems with

   extra long lines in versions 1.82 and 1.83. This is a maintenance

   release, mostly, but adds an -I (information) option to show what

   WOULD be converted (but doesn't actually carry out the operation).

   It's certainly helpful for ME..

 

/mac/util/unix/ps2eps1.1.shar

  43      8/16/92    UnixShar

 

   UNIX utility to convert PostScript (.ps) files to Encapsulated

   PostScript with embedded PICT previews. The results are useful in

   Word 5, OzTeX and Kaleidagraph, or any program that can read EPS.

   Requires GhostScript and the PBMPlus package.

 

/mac/util/unix/stripfonts.shar

  42     8/16/92    UnixShar

 

that strips the font definitions from Mac (and System 7)

  generated PostScript files for error-free printing on UNIX systems.

  If you need a program on the Mac side, have a look at PS Trimmer.

  (/mac/system.extensions/cdev/pstrimmer1.01.cpt.hqx)

 

/mac/util/unix/unsea1.0.shar

  46      8/9/92    UnixShar

 

   This utility will convert self-extracting archives (.sea files)

   into "normal" archives (StuffIt and Compact Pro). Accomplishes the

   same thing under UNIX as DeSEA does on the Mac.

 

/mac/util/unix/unsit1.5.shar

  40      8/3/92    UnixShar

 

   UNIX utility to unstuff StuffIt 1.5.1-compatible archives. Creates

   three files which require the macbin program (macbin.shar)

   to assemble into a MacBinary file ready for downloading.

   Not elegant, but it saves you the hassle of having to do it on your

   Mac and lets your nice, fast UNIX system do all the work.
