At 5:44p +0800 10/01/2006, Peter N Lewis didst inscribe upon an
electronic papyrus:
Encoding in MacBinary is very limited, it includes only a small
subset of meta data, and is limited to 2GB (possibly 4GB) data and
resource fork lengths, 63 character file name (with no encoding
specified), etc.
BTW, Interarchy 8.0 dropped support for MacBinary (essentially
because it caused more problems than it solved), however Interarchy
8.2 added support for transparent file converters, and include both
a MacBinary encoder, as well as a Backup encoder which encodes all
meta data (including things like HFS+ extended attributes) and has
none of the limitations of MacBinary.
What ever happened with MacBinary III?
(Did I ask this before?)
