This version of "xbin" can handle all three BinHex formats
(so far). Thanks to Darin Adler at TMQ Software for providing
the code to compute and check the CRC values for all three formats.
Other new features include "list" and "verbose" modes, the
ability to convert several binhex files at one time, the ability
to read standard input, somewhat better error handling, and a
manual page.
Any extraneous mail or news headers are ignored, but xbin relies
on finding a line which starts with "(This file" to know when
the header ends and the good stuff begins. You can add one
of these by hand if it's been lost.
To compile it on USG systems, type:
cc -o xbin xbin.c
or on Berkeley systems:
cc -o xbin xbin.c -DBSD
As usual, please report any problems, suggestions, or
improvements to me.
