Short: BinHex (Mac .HQX) extractor (PPC), incl. source Author: (various, see below) Uploader: Andreas_Kleinert t-online de Type: util/arc Architecture: ppc-powerup The docs originally said about this program "This is a 'quick and dirty' port of a UNIX program which decodes an Apple Macintosh BinHex file into its components, so you can use the contents on a MSDOS PC." Well, this now is a port for powerUP (TM) PPC systems, based on the original unix sources. PPC binary is called "xbin.elf" and useable from Shell when being used with ppc.library V46+ Only smakefile + SCOPTIONS had to be added. The program itself does seem to work fine - although I did not much testing so far. (For the original distribution, please refer to the "orig_src" archive) -- ARK, 27/Aug/98 ************************************************************************************* ************************************************************************************* Note: In the past, some guy called "SPH" took most of my free PPC ports (those where the sources have been included) and ported them to WOS. While I've nothing against WOS ports, an other point is very distasteful and unfair in my opinion: removing all references to my name and initials and simply replacing those with his own, while also removing all references to PPC-Lib/ELF and replacing those with WOS references and usually some flames or even offenses against the competing kernel and porter - without actually rewriting the readme text itself in a major way (for example, if I describe what *I* specifically did for the port - and what he didn't have to do a *second* time, of course - he does not even remove/change *those* notes and/or give me credit). This leads to the strange situation, that I hereby have to copyright this .readme text, to claim its authorship and forbid changes which aren't clearly marked as being changes to the original: While quotes may have been derived from other parts of the distribution, the whole .readme as such now is (C)opyrighted by Andreas R. Kleinert in 1998. Copyrights to the other files remain as such. Nevertheless I'd ask anyone to give me credit for the changes which I did myself and which of course have been labeled/marked/documented as such. Even free software lives from respecting the intellectual work and property of others. Thank you. ************************************************************************************* *************************************************************************************
