PC BinHex 1.3 University of Minnesota 1992-1993 Overview: This Utility encodes binary files into a plain text format and decodes the resulting files into their original state. The encoding method used is called BinHex. This encoding method works on any type of file, including formatted word processing and spreadsheet files, graphics files, and even executable files (i.e. programs or applications). The encoded file can also be passed from computer to computer in its encoded form. The encoding will remain intact and it will be equally meaningless on all the machines until it is unencoded. To be usable or readable it must be converted back to its original format and be run on a compatible computer. This program is compatible with the Macintosh version of BINHEX and with POPMail (tm). Functions: F1: Access online help. F2: Bin2Hex - Converts a Binary File to a BinHex encoded File. F3: Hex2Bin - Converts a BinHex encoded File to a Binary File. Alt-X: Exit the program.
