DESCRIPTION
The program
tobin
reads a series of files and wraps them up in a macbinary wrapper.
On the mac it read the resource fork and file create/type flags from the
filesystem (as one would expect).
On non-mac systems (where these concepts do not exist) you may specify these
on the command line with options.
OPTIONS
- -res filename
-
Specify the name of a file from which a "resource fork" should be read. This argument should
precede the data file with which it is associated (if you want a file with no
data fork, you may omit the data file).
- -type 4-character-string
-
Specify the a mac 4 character type string used to tell the finder what kind of
file it is. This argument should
precede the data or resource file with which it is associated.
- -creator 4-character-string
-
Specify the a mac 4 character type string used to tell the finder what application
is associated with this file. This argument should
precede the data or resource file with which it is associated.
