Free macintosh binhex files software for linux

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)

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.

QArchive.org web files checker is an extension which allows people to check web files for any malware.

The add-on allowing people to check web files for any malware (viruses, trojans, worms, adware, spyware and other unwanted things) inclusions. Install this plug-in to your browser, reload it. Then click the web file link by right mouse button and choose a "Check files with QArchive.org".

Then follow web site instructions. The usual way: your file will be enqueued. Refresh the report page to get completete antivirus report. That will show you all web files part checking and a summary as well. If you are a web master you can you the useful feature.

Taking the code of received report and placed it on your web site you can inform people about a concrete file safety. The web forums code version exists as well.

Email Files Thunderbird is a very simple service menu script, to email one or more files with Thunderbird to any address or to a given address, which i assume is used as a "backup" space.

The subject is automatically updated according to the attached files and, in case you choose to send to your specific email address, details about sending date, user and host are automatically added in the body.

There are other similar service menus around, but i wanted a script that allows to attach more than one file at one time and that automatically updates the subject line.

USAGE: pretty straightforward.. Just make the two .sh files executable (if necessary) and place them in a directory of your path, for example /home/YOUR_USERNAME/bin. Place the service menu file EmailWithThunderbird.desktop in /home/YOUR_USERNAME/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus

IMPORTANT: In file EmailWithThunderbirdToMyAddress.sh, you need to specify your email address in to=.... (that is, where i wrote: YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS@DOMAIN.NAME)

This project was tested on OpenSuSE 10.2, KDE 3.5.6

Add to Noatun playlist is a service menu that can add files to the Noatun players playlist.

php file browser is a simple Web-based file browser.
php file browser allows the user to upload files, delete, copy, make directories and paste files and directories. It has two access levels: one for admin, one for guest.
Access for guests can be optionally password protected.
Enhancements:
- A PHP file source viewer was added.
- The directory lister now works much faster than in older versions.
- Big changes were made in the class files.

Journaled Files LIBrary allows you to perform atomic transactions on standard files. It supplies functions to commit and rollback (back-out) changes.
Journaled files are normal files that you can browse and parse with standard tools. A journal (log) stores all transactional info.
Enhancements:
- tutorial available (HTML, PDF, SGML/docbook)
- FAQ was converted from TXT file to HTML, PDF, SGML/docbook
- documentation can be produced directly by make command ("make html", "make pdf", "make dist")
- fixed to "UTF-8" the XML output encoding
