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 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.
