It will strip resource forks from text files, type the files correctly and convert Binscii files. It will also preserve file/aux types of all kinds of file inside a Binscii wrapper. It is scriptable (understands AppleEvents) and can be used as a helper application for Internet programs. So you can tell Netscape or Anarchie to postprocess all .bsq files with ProTYPE, for example. Changes from version 1.0: - conversion of BinScii files with DOS or UNIX style end-of-line formatting - every text file becomes a ProDOS text file, not just the ones with a known suffix - Fat (68K and PPC code) "Support GS Ware"ware.

Suntar is also a MacBinary, BinHex and PackIt extractor hence it may be moderately useful even to people without access to UNIX machines. It is a program which runs on a Macintosh and reads and writes a disk in the physical IBM formats containing data in the logical tar format. To exchange data is a difficult art - if you want to fully exploit suntar you should have some basic notions about Mac files - data and resource forks, the MacBinary format (a common way to store a Mac file in an UNIX-style file without losing informations) and so on.

Virtue is my guess at Apple Computer's upcoming "Charcoal" font--scheduled to appear in Mac OS 8. There is a lot of controversy about this font, and honestly, I think that most of it is unjustified. Basically, a lot of people do not want this font to appear in the next OS. I think that this feeling is based on a "reverse-engineered" font developed by Greg Landweber for his Aaron extension and Kaleidoscope control panel. Greg built his font from looking at various screenshots and did a good job at making a very complete font. However, the spacing information and special characters characters seemed a little off to me. It seems that Apple couldn't decide whether Charcoal should have two pixels between the letters or just one. This leads to a cramped apperance on screen. So here's what I did: basically, I took his work and tried to space it how I would if I was making Apple's next font. I studied the "Chicago" system font and and used it as a template for my font. After about 2 hours of tinkering, I had a bitmap font that looked really good as a replacement font for Kaleidoscope. About a week later, after tinkering some more, I think I've made a vast improvement.
