Chandross) Newsgroups: comp.sources.apple2 Subject: v001SRC075: BinSCII for Unix (New Version) Message-ID: <Feb.6.21.56.11.1993.10618@yoko.rutgers.edu> Date: 7 Feb 93 02:56:12 GMT Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 1615 Approved: jac@paul.rutgers.edu Submitted-by: Neil Parker (parker@corona.uoregon.edu) Posting-number: Volume 1, Source:75 Archive-name: archive/unix/binscii/bsc_v1.2 Architecture: UNIX Version-number: 1.2 This is version 1.2 of BSC, the UNIX and VMS BinSCII encoder. This version began as a "maintainance release" when I found out that the previous version wouldn't compile on Ultrix. Apparently a badly-chosen variable name was conflicting with a routine in the Ultrix C library. I renamed the variable, and the problem seems to have gone away. I've also added a new command-line option (-o) which makes it possible to save the output files under a different name than the input file. The major change in this version is the documentation--I turned the old docs.unix file into a genuine UNIX man page. There is also a man page for the BinSCII format, in case anybody's interested in how bsc works. Enjoy.
