- These programs are a quick hack to convert *.{info,data,rsrc} files from
- macget back to something that xbin will accept. The only reason I wrote
- these was so that I could post version 4.5 of Switcher.
-
- These files are in no way optimum, elegant, or pretty. In fact, they might
- not even be correct. If you need to do this sort of thing very often, you
- should obtain whatever it is everybody else uses ( and post it to the net so
- that I can get it! ).
-
- Enough blithering. Here is what is here:
-
- README This file
-
- gethead filter to turn *.info into
- a valid header
-
- crc writes crc of stdin on stdout
-
- unrun filter to change 0x90 into 0x90 0x00.
- needed because I don't do run length
- encoding, because this is all a kludge.
-
- 8to6 filter to convert 8 bit data stream into
- 6 bit data stream that xbin wants. Uses
- worst algorithm I could think of, so don't
- look at it, please!
-
- unxbin shell script to use the above stuff
-
- To install:
-
- #!/bin/sh
- for i in gethead crc unrun 8to6
- do
- cc $i.c -o /where/you/want/it/in/your/path/$i
- done
- cp unxbin /some/where/in/your/path
-
- To use:
-
- unxbin file # convert file.{info,data,rsrs} to file.hqx
-
