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	macbi-
       nary 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 argu-
	      ment should precede the data or resource file with which	it  is
	      associated.
