FROMBIN(1)		     General Commands Manual		      FROMBIN(1)

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 op-
     tions.

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.
