NAME

       tobin - convert a series of files into a series of macbinary files

SYNOPSIS

       tobin  [-resfilename]  [-type4-character-string]  [-creator4-character-
       string] file...

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.
