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.
