What for ? Forget binhex and use full MIME encoding. It works nicely with
Macs too ;-)

If you really can't live without BinHex, get mcvert for Unix which converts
files from and to BinHex. Then you'll get your BinHex files on your Unix
workstation, and you can even send these BinHexed files to Macs by pasting
them into the body of your outgoing messages (don't use the Attachment feature
of Pine as it uses Base64 encoding)... the BinHex UMAs (like Eudora or LeeMail)
will get them properly as attached Binhexed files.

Have fun !

Only if the recipient has MIME capability.  The nice thing about BinHex4 
is that it is so ubiquitous in the Mac community.

Any idea where mcvert is available?  I could make good use of it here.  I 
suppose I could search for it, but...  :-)
