26 Washington Apple Pi Journal September 1992 In these days of cheap storage, modern operating systems have gotten more complex and more File individualized than ever before. And with multiple forks, files are no longer the same "shape" they Attributes used to be. In order to shoehorn these new capabilities into old standards, an additional protocol layer is required for successful file transfers. Mac Binary The MacBinary standard has been around almost as long as Macs h:;i.ve had modems. Every popular Mac terminal program supports it by default for transferring files with their appropriate attributes. The MacBinary-capable sender encapsulates the file attributes, data fork and resource fork in a sequential stream of data which can be sent and stored in any operating system. When it comes back to the Mac via modem, the terminal program decodes this file into its component parts. Ifthe file comes on disk or over a network, a separate utility or translator may be required. Binary II Modeled after the MacBinary standard, Apple II users have their own method for retaining file attributes. Unfortunately it's not been around very long and it's largely misunderstood. Modern Apple II terminal software should transparently handle Binary II encoding and decoding. There are still programs around which do not. Machine When using MacBinary or Binary II transparently, one must be careful not to accidentally Independence change files which don't need it. Text files and GIF or JPEG graphics, for example, which are intended for use on non-Apple machines should never have MacBinary or Binary II wrapping or our neighbors will not be able to use them. Be sure to turn these features off when uploading machine-independent files, and to turn them back on for all machine-dependent ones.
