|

<P>
|
|
<B><TT>DwBinhex</TT></B> converts data to or from Binhex 4.0 format. Binhex
|
|
is a format used almost exclusively on Macintosh computers for encoding files
|
|
into text characters for transmission through the mail transport system or
|
|
for archiving on non-Macintosh systems. The format includes the file name,
|
|
file type, file creator, Macintosh Finder flags, data fork, resource fork,
|
|
and checksums. In MIME, the use of Binhex is deprecated; applesingle and
|
|
appledouble are the preferred format for encoding Macintosh files. The Binhex
|
|
4.0 format is described in RFC-1741. Binhex is a widely used, <I>de facto</I>
|
|
standard, but it is not an official Internet standard.
|
|
<P>
|
|
To use <B><TT>DwBinhex</TT></B> for converting a Macintosh file to Binex
|
|
format, call the member functions <B><TT>SetFileName()</TT></B>,
|
|
<B><TT>SetFileType()</TT></B>, <B><TT>SetFileCreator()</TT></B>,
|
|
<B><TT>SetFlag1()</TT></B>, <B><TT>SetFlag2()</TT></B>,
|
|
<B><TT>SetDataFork()</TT></B>, and <B><TT>SetResourceFork()</TT></B> to set
|
|
the elements to be encoded. Any elements that are not set by calling one
|
|
of the member functions are assigned reasonable defaults. Then call the
|
|
<B><TT>Encode()</TT></B> member function to actually perform the conversion
|
|
to Binhex. Finally, call <B><TT>BinhexChars()</TT></B> to retrieve the Binhex
|
|
characters.
|
|
<P>
|
|
To use <B><TT>DwBinhex</TT></B> for converting a Macintosh file from Binhex
|
|
format, call the member function <B><TT>SetBinhexChars()</TT></B> to assign
|
|
the Binhex characters to be converted. Then call <B><TT>Decode()</TT></B>
|
|
to actually perform the conversion. Finally, call
|
|
<B><TT>FileName()</TT></B>, <B><TT>FileType()</TT></B>,
|
|
<B><TT>FileCreator()</TT></B>, <B><TT>Flag1()</TT></B>,
|
|
<B><TT>Flag2()</TT></B>, <B><TT>DataFork()</TT></B>, and
|
|
<B><TT>ResourceFork()</TT></B> to extract the decoded elements.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Note: <B><TT>DwBinhex</TT></B> does not change the file name in any way.
|
|
When you you are dealing with file names, you should be aware of the fact
|
|
that some filenames that are valid on a Macintosh may cause problems or
|
|
unexpected results on a non-Macintosh system, and vice versa. Such problem
|
|
characters include slash ('/'), colon (':'), space and possibly other characters.

Resets the object's internal state to its initial state. Call this member

function to reuse the object for more than one encode or decode operation.

Gets or sets the file name. The file name is restricted to a maximum length
|
|
of 63 characters.

Gets or sets the file type. All Macintosh files have a file type, which is
|
|
represented by four bytes. Some examples include "TEXT" for a text file,
|
|
or "APPL" for an application. <B><TT>aBuf</TT></B> should point to an array
|
|
of at least four characters.

<P>

Gets or sets the file creator. Most Macintosh files have a creator, which
|
|
is represented by a signature of four bytes. The creator specifies which
|
|
application to launch when a file's icon is double clicked.
|
|
<B><TT>aBuf</TT></B> should point to an array of at least four characters.

Gets or sets the first byte of the Macintosh Finder flags. For files that

originate on non-Macintosh systems, this byte should be set to zero (the

default).

Gets or sets the data fork for the file. For files that originate on

non-Macintosh systems, such as a GIF or JPEG file, the file data should be

set as the data fork.
