Everything in this archive is in the public domain. You may do anything you

This folder contains misc MPW tools for converting to and from various formats.
I've collected these tools from Usenet over the years. Some of them I converted
to MPW tools, others were MPW tools already, but needed a little work to compile
with MPW C 3.2. The makefile is for building with MPW 3.2; you'll have to change
the libs= line to build with MPW 3.1.
The tools are:
atob, btoa
converts to and from btoa format used on Unix
join a tool to join multi-part postings; this used to be a shell script
and is now much faster. Also handles btoa'ed and uuencoded files
from various mail servers.
mcompress
from Gail Zacharias: reads and generates Unix compress files;
I added a -u option for doing CR<->LF conversions (useful for
decoding compressed shar files). (The -d option decompresses;
a useful alias is: Alias uncompress 'mcompress -d'.)
mtar, muntar
from Gail Zacharias: reads and generates Unix tar format files.
unshar decodes Unix shar files. Original code by Amanda Walker. This can
be built as a standalone appl by Think C or as an MPW tool. Both
the Think C project file and MPW make file is provided.
xbin converts binhexed files used on comp.binaries.mac
All the tools read standard input and can be used in combination. For example,
join parts.[1-5] | atob | mcompress -d -u | unshar
