Re: automatic binscii'ing of files.  Doable.  Probably will be done if I
can find the unix program to create binscii files.  I thought it was called
'bsc' but I haven't seen it.  (Haven't looked real hard, either :-) )
What is the program I'm looking for?  Also, it would need to send all segments
in _one_ file to be useable with ftp get.  Or else only ftp mget could be
used.

Re: Binary II shrinkit files.  Yes, that is the obvious solution, but hardly
anyone uploads binscii<-binaryII<-shrinkit files.  Almost everything to date
is binscii<-shrinkit.  I need a sciibin which creates binaryII files around
its contents (iff the contents aren't already a BinaryII file).  I don't
think binscii,gscii,sscii etc. need this option because they run on AppleII's.

I am _not_ going to download every cba2 file, de-binscii, BinaryII wrap, and
upload, or re-binscii and upload.  I wouldn't wish that on any volunteer
helpers either.  I would encourage people to start putting files in a BinaryII
envelope before uploading to an archive site however.  If files stay as
binscii files, it seems rather redundant though.  There is no one right
solution, IMHO.
