- 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
