Mac OS X 10.4 or earlier: Computer stops responding

Learn how to get out of situations in which your computer may stop responding ("hang" or "freeze"). Troubleshooting beyond what is described in this article may be necessary to address any recurring issue. Important: Unsaved changes in your open applications will be lost. These steps apply to Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server. "Unresponsiveness" is often indicated by a spinning disc pointer and/or slow response time to input (or no response at all).

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. AUTHOR
