- 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.
