FROMBIN(1) General Commands Manual FROMBIN(1) NAME
frombin - convert macbinary files into normal files SYNOPSIS
frombin macbinaryfile... DESCRIPTION
The program frombin reads a series of macbinary files and unwraps them. On the mac it will produce a file similar to the original one. On non-macs it will create (up to) three files, one for the data fork (called <filename>.data), one for the resource fork (called <file- name>.rsrc) and one containing random information in a human readable format (called <filename>.info).

tobin - convert a series of files into a series of macbinary files SYNOPSIS
tobin [-resfilename] [-type4-character-string] [-creator4-character-string] file... DESCRIPTION
The program tobin reads a series of files and wraps them up in a macbinary wrapper. On the mac it read the resource fork and file cre- ate/type flags from the filesystem (as one would expect). On non-mac systems (where these concepts do not exist) you may specify these on the command line with options. OPTIONS
-res filename Specify the name of a file from which a "resource fork" should be read. This argument should precede the data file with which it is associated (if you want a file with no data fork, you may omit the data file). -type 4-character-string Specify the a mac 4 character type string used to tell the finder what kind of file it is. This argument should precede the data or resource file with which it is associated. -creator 4-character-string Specify the a mac 4 character type string used to tell the finder what application is associated with this file. This argument should precede the data or resource file with which it is associated. AUTHOR
