I just downloaded Binscii.txt from Nathan's www pages by Netscape,
without any precautions. If came in UNIX text format, but no resource
fork was added. I will try to follow the instructions of the FAQ
when I get home tonight and try to figure out what went wrong.
But I will contact these guys by email and see if I can help them
by providing my sciibin port for the Mac and a ShrinkIt self-extracting
archive in a Mac wrapper.
