Several *nix-based utilities for working with classic Mac files
macutil contains the following utilities: macunpack - unpacks PackIt, StuffIt, Diamond, Compactor/Compact Pro, most StuffItClassic/StuffItDeluxe, and all Zoom and LHarc/MacLHa archives, and archives created by later versions of DiskDoubler. Also it will decode files created by BinHex5.0, MacBinary, UMCP, Compress It, ShrinkToFit, MacCompress, DiskDoubler and AutoDoubler. hexbin - de-hexify files created in BinHex 4.0 compatible format (hqx) but also the older format (dl, hex and hcx). Moreover it will uudecode files uuencoded by UUTool (the only program I know that does UU hexification of all Mac file information). macsave - reads a MacBinary stream from standard input and writes the files according to the options. Optionally self-extracting archives are modified to normal archives. macstream - reads files from the Unix host and will output a MacBinary stream containing all those files together with information about the directory structure. binhex - reads a MacBinary stream, or will read files/directories as indicated on the command line, and will output all files in binhexed (.hqx) format. Information about the directory structure is lost. tomac - transmits a MacBinary stream, or named files to the Mac using the XMODEM protocol. frommac - receives one or more files from the Mac using the XMODEM protocol.
