In Response To: Compressing files into .bin format? (Blayne)

: Hi everyone,
: I'm just working on getting the WMaiD Demo to be AO SDL compatable. It's
: suggusted that I binhex the necessary files (Map and Image files), then
: remove the ".bin" from the filename.
: However... what program does this? My versions of Dropstuff under OS9.x
: encode in binhex 4.0, which results in a simple .hqx file. The other route
: produces the normal .sit.
It's not BinHex, it's MacBinary. BinHex is actually a fancy (for its time) encoding scheme, I'm not sure what it was ever used for... MacBinary just puts the resource fork into the data fork and leaves the rest of it the same. The program to do this is called MacBinary II. I'm not sure where to get it, but VersionTracker is a good place to start; failing that, Google.
