Recently someone posted binhex in "compressed binhex format" to fa.info-mac.
Now, recursion is a powerful tool, but one needs SOME base function...

Does anyone have a binhex written in C? Or at least an English description of
the encoding algorithm? I presume that "compressed" implies some kind of
packing prior to the binhex algorithm proper -- any help there? I have
pack and Pack, but not the BSD compress.

Please reply by mail; if I get enough "me too!" I will post to net.sources.
Thanks,
