- I wrote a program called cap2mb which converts a CAP file (in three parts)
- and creates a MacBinaryII file. I posted it to the CAP maintainers and it
- will be in the next release - meantime if anyone wants a copy send me
- some mail. I have another program called mbident which grovels around
- inside a Mac file stored under Unix and works out what format the file is,
- might be of use to someone other than ourselves.
