Any ideas how to proceed? So what? Why would you need a binhex file? Isn't stuffit one of the native packaging formats of the old Mac OS? Just transfer the binary file to the Mac. If you need, use UUencode, mimeencode, whatever, but usually binary works fine, unless you have a braindead program that thinks it needs to twiddle the high bit in some bytes, just because in ASCII that bit doesn't exist. Get a transfer program (or write one) that does what it's supposed to: transferring 8-bit bytes without munging them in a totally unnecessary way. -- I believe in Karma.
