There are several MacBinary files in different forums. I downloaded some of them, but they all seem to require a programm called "apple file exchange". Since I don't have this program, I wasn't able to get these files to work properly. Do you know some other MacBinary progs, which don't require the "Apple File Exchange", or do you know where I can get the file exchange? Thanx! Lutti

The utilities on CIS all are files that work with "Apple File Exchange", which is a Control Panel in System 6. This was replaced in System 7 by "PC Exchange", which CANNOT use those files!! I ended up downloading the MacBinary program I have from AOL (America OnLine) at my friend's house, using his MAC. I now have this file, which I can upload to CIS! The trick to this is that you must download it using either MacCim or a Mac terminal program like "Z-TERM" in order for the MacBinary formatted file to be separated into a usable program. Tell Ya what I'm going to do. I have MacCim on the SS/MAC, so I will upload the MacBinary utility to the AmigaUser forum's "Emulators" library. It may take a bit for the file to show up. Once it does, download it via the MAC, and then you can convert those other files you downloaded to usable programs. Hope this helps! — Dave

Use BinHex v4.0 available in the Mac forums. -Steve Ahlstrom

Steve: MacBinary works fine for me, but Lutti was looking for the utility… — Dave
