binhex 5 is nothing more than MacBinary, really. it is used quite often, and
is better than binhex 4.0 in that the filesize is smaller, but the files are
not text so don't lend themselves to email or news. if you download any
mac.bin file and than run Binhex 5.0 under executor, it will split the file
into it's respective forks. i mcvert all .hqx's before dl'ing because of this.
