Free macintosh binhex software for linux

Zip is a compression and file packaging utility for Unix, VMS, DOS, OS/2, Windows 9x/NT, Amiga, Atari, Macintosh, BeOS, SMS/QDOS, MVS, VM/CMS, and others.
Zip is analogous to a combination of the Unix commands tar(1) and compress(1) and is compatible with PKWAREs PKZIP and Nico Maks WinZip. Its part of the Info-ZIP project.
Main features:
- creating zipfiles in a pipe or on a device
- VMS and OS/2 extended file attributes
- conversion between Unix, MS-DOS and Macintosh text file formats
- the ability to run on most of your favorite operating systems.
Enhancements:
- fixed -R operation to match the supplied file patterns in all recursed subdirectories, like PKZIP 2.04 "-p -r" (or PKZIPC 4+ "-recurse")
- handle cases where -x, -R, and -i patterns are mixed
- new example C-Sharp code for using DLLs
- added some directory-search speedups
- fixed bug when encrypting large uncompressible files
- fixed Windows NTFS time problem
- fixed VMS logical name parse problem
- added VMS DEBUG option
- updated VMS help
- fixed selection of files to delete by date
- added -MM option where each input file pattern must match at least one file and all input files must be readable
- added check for when Zip tries to exceed seek limit in output file
- minor changes to compile with Visual C++ 2005
- added support for Unix FIFOs (named pipes)
- other minor fixes

aMSN : Alvaros Messenger, or Another MSN messenger clone

Convert::BinHex can extract data from Macintosh BinHex files.

ALPHA WARNING: this code is currently in its Alpha release. Things may change drastically until the interface is hammered out: if you have suggestions or objections, please speak up now!

SYNOPSIS

Simple functions:

use Convert::BinHex qw(binhex_crc macbinary_crc);

# Compute HQX7-style CRC for data, pumping in old CRC if desired:
$crc = binhex_crc($data, $crc);

# Compute the MacBinary-II-style CRC for the data:
$crc = macbinary_crc($data, $crc);

Hex to bin, low-level interface. Conversion is actually done via an object ("Convert::BinHex::Hex2Bin") which keeps internal conversion state:
# Create and use a "translator" object:
my $H2B = Convert::BinHex->hex2bin; # get a converter object
while (< STDIN >) {
print $STDOUT $H2B->next($_); # convert some more input
}
print $STDOUT $H2B->done; # no more input: finish up

Hex to bin, OO interface. The following operations must be done in the order shown!
# Read data in piecemeal:
$HQX = Convert::BinHex->open(FH=>*STDIN) || die "open: $!";
$HQX->read_header; # read header info
@data = $HQX->read_data; # read in all the data
@rsrc = $HQX->read_resource; # read in all the resource

Bin to hex, low-level interface. Conversion is actually done via an object ("Convert::BinHex::Bin2Hex") which keeps internal conversion state:
# Create and use a "translator" object:
my $B2H = Convert::BinHex->bin2hex; # get a converter object
while (< STDIN >) {
print $STDOUT $B2H->next($_); # convert some more input
}
print $STDOUT $B2H->done; # no more input: finish up

Bin to hex, file interface. Yes, you can convert to BinHex as well as from it!
# Create new, empty object:
my $HQX = Convert::BinHex->new;

# Set header attributes:
$HQX->filename("logo.gif");
$HQX->type("GIFA");
$HQX->creator("CNVS");

# Give it the data and resource forks (either can be absent):
$HQX->data(Path => "/path/to/data"); # here, data is on disk
$HQX->resource(Data => $resourcefork); # here, resource is in core

# Output as a BinHex stream, complete with leading comment:
$HQX->encode(*STDOUT);

PLANNED!!!! Bin to hex, "CAP" interface. Thanks to Ken Lunde for suggesting this.
# Create new, empty object from CAP tree:
my $HQX = Convert::BinHex->from_cap("/path/to/root/file");
$HQX->encode(*STDOUT);

BinHex is a format used by Macintosh for transporting Mac files safely through electronic mail, as short-lined, 7-bit, semi-compressed data streams. Ths module provides a means of converting those data streams back into into binary data.

Early Macintosh Image LoadEr allows to boot linux-m68k from a floppy on a macintosh such as MacII or Quadra 610.
With it, you can create rescue disk, or remove the MacOS partition (needed by the legacy penguin booter) from your HD.
Create a floppy from rescue disk image
You can find floppy image from the package emile-rescue
Under linux, the command to dump image to floppy is:
# dd if=emile-rescue-x.y.bin of=/dev/fd0 bs=512 conv=sync
then, you can eject floppy with:
# eject /dev/fd0
If you are using MacOS, use MakeDebianFloppy AppleScript (you must use a floppy image with a size of exactly 1474560 bytes).
Enhancements:
- This release has improved SCSI support, allows you to create a bootable CD-ROM, adds Debian packaging, updates the PowerPC part (currently not usable), and introduces apple_driver (currently not usable).

Slackintosh is a port of Slackware GNU/Linux to PPC (Macintosh).

Russell Kroll was the first person who ported Slackware to PPC (http://slackintosh.exploits.org), but the project stalled with an unfinished 9.1 ..

I (Adrian) started again from scratch porting 10.1 to PPC, and ive stolen the name Slackintosh...

Please note that this port was not done by Russell, dont send him Bugreports.

I used the the Sources + SlackBuild files from Slackware 10.1. ..but i had to make a few changes:

The new Binutils from 10.x didnt like GCC, i used the 9.1 Version to build everything. The Installer uses BusyBox 1.0 and Linux 2.4 is not included, only 2.6.11.5 (Runs better on PPC .. imho)

Its not finished: Not all packages are ported. Youll get gcc, X, Mozilla, XFCE, Gimp.. but no
monsters like KDE & Co.

The installer maybe somewhat funky.. Missing packages are still listed and the yaboot installation isnt tested very well...

..but you should be able to get it running. It won the WFM (WorksForMe) price. (Tested on a MiniMac & iBook2)

Evernote Web Clipper 3.0.0.51093 is an extremely useful addition for your browser. It actually provides a button and context menus to easily add a selection or an entire page to Evernote. It is yet another amazing Firefox extension and it works on Linux, Mac & Windows.
You just have to select a portion of text and images, then click. Results may vary depending on how the webpage is structured.

Enhancements: June 15, 2009

• Fix bugs causing instability on some Macintosh configuration.

Requirements: Mozilla Firefox

Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module is can be used to create native Excel binary files.

Formatted text and numbers can be written to multiple worksheets in a workbook. Formulas and functions are also supported. It is 100% Perl and doesnt require any Windows libraries or a copy of Excel.

It will also work on the majority of Unix and Macintosh platforms. Generated files are compatible with Excel 97, 2000, 2002, and 2003, and with OpenOffice and Gnumeric. An older version also supports Excel 5/95.
