mcvert runs under UNIX and converts between different representations
of Mac files.  One very common conversion is between BinHex4.0 and
MacBinary.

More details regarding file formats may be found in the mcvert.1 man
page, but basically, there are native Mac files that live (only) on
the Mac (since they have interesting internal structure), and
representations of Mac files.

Files are often identified by extensions, those .ext suffixes at the
end of the name.  Common suffixes include:

        .bin    MacBinary
        .sit    StuffIt
        .cpt    CompactPro
        .hqx    BinHex4.0
        .sea    self extracting archive

 Well, this now is a port for WarpOS PPC systems,
 based on the original unix sources. This Port of
 mcvertppc really works, thanks to some bugfixes
 in the Sources.
