Subject: MAC BINHEX 40

We use pine 3.91 Unix, and sometimes we receive attachments
encoded with MAS-BINHEX 40.  Is there any way to read or
un-encode these on Unix?

Since I've run into the same problem only weeks ago, I can now send you
the information that other Net users were kind enough to send me (recycling
hits the Usenet ;-)

Your best shot for extracting the data on a Unix box is using either the program

   mcvert  ( see <http://hyperarchive.lcs.mit.edu/HyperArchive.html> for info )

or the program

   xbin    ( use archie to obtain one of the many ftp sites that carry it )

Thanks again to

   Paul J. Schinder <[email-masked]>,
   Rick Troxel <[email-masked]>
   Simon Barnes <[email-masked]>
   Don Sugarman <[email-masked]> (the DOS solution: HEXBIN.EXE)

for supplying me with the original information.

Best regards,
