Subject: binhex 4.0

I just received an e-mail from someone on a MAC with an attachment.  How do I open the attachment?  It says that it needs the binhex 4.0 to convert it.  The extension on the file was .w42.

Thanks
Tim Roy

Does anyone ever read past posts in this group?  Two words:  Deja News!

Yes....and No.

Remember a little bit ago there was an announcement that the bridge
between this "mailing list" and the comp.mail.pine newsgroup is broken?

Well, this being a "mailing list" can make it difficult for some to read
the past posts since a "mailing list" is different from a newsgroup.

However, the binhex question had been asked/answered on the newsgroup
recently so it should be easy to find the answer.

Also recently, I did mail to this list a Unix shell script to do the
transformation.  

So, Tim and Nancy, if you want that....just email me and I'll send it to
you.  No sense in sending it to the entire list....again.

The mailing list archive is available at or about Pine's homepage.

That's why I said "can" since it takes a bit of work to find the archive.
If some people can find the "?" or the "^G" at the bottom of the screen
there is little hope they can find the archive.  :-( :-(
