Re: Viewing mac files

[Net Llama!]

I dunno, i think you might be out of luck on this one. Macs do things quite differently. A file is really two things in the filesystem, a resource fork, and a data fork. Unless you have both, you can't do anything. However, binhexing makes the two forks portable, kinda like a tarball. BUt unfortunately, you need the HFS filesystem in order to merge the two forks and do anything with them.

Is there a way on linux to view a file like this:
BinHex binary text, version 4.0

(This file must be converted with BinHex 4.0)
:$dPZC'PKEL"KG#"dB@*XC3"+8%9(5PCA8J3!N!0PD`#3"0GVrpMri!!35NC*4J!
etc.

I have found the macutil package on my computer, and, and I can convert this
package to data with binhex, but, from that point on I am stumped.
