BinSCII format (SOLVED)

[koch@sylt.informatik.uni-kl.de (Peter Koch - DA Gesmann)]

Hi!

Yesterday, i've asked about the format of BinSCII and a Unix tool to
unpack BinSCII'ed files.

A couple of people sent me an e-mail. Thanks!

The tool, i had looked for is called sciibin from Marcel J.E. Mol.
The complete package (version 2.0) is is only on two major ftp-sites:
ftp.uu.net and wuarchive.wustl.edu.
wuarchive.wustl.edu also includes a new version (3.10) of sciibin.c which
is more portable and can in/output from/to stdin/stdout.

The BinSCII format is very similar to the uuencode format. But it has three 
extra features:
	- it contains ProDOS file information (type, date, size, adress, etc.)
	- it splits the file in several 12 kbyte chunks
	- it does a crc checksum over the chunks

Detailed information can be found in bsc1.2 (look for bsc.aaf) by Neil Parker.
It conatins a unix manpage for the BinSCII format.

That was it!
