It describes BinHex 4.0 which is probably what you are looking for. If
not I don't know.
Thanks, but that isn't the same thing. BinHex is a text encoding like
Base64, whereas MacBinary is... binary. I've found definitions for
MacBinary 3, but I see lots of references to MacBinary 4. I don't know
what the difference might be (maybe long file names?).
BTW: Where is the connection to the MacNetworkProg mailing list?
Sounds a bit OT to me (though the volume here is so low that it
doesn't matter much.)
I figured it was appropriate since networking apps are practically the
only place MacBinary is used; I'd welcome any suggestions for other
places to ask. I'm looking for a good standard way of transmitting both
forks of a Mac OS file via HTTP.
