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 cre-
       ate/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.
