 BinHex - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
BinHexed files take up more space than the original files, but are far less likely to be corrupted in transit.
BinHex files were typically given the file extension ".hex".
The original BinHex was a fairly simple format, one that was not very effecient because it expanded every byte of input into two -- a 8-to-4 bit encoding.

 RFC 1741 (rfc1741) - MIME Content Type for BinHex Encoded Files
BinHex example Content-Type: application/mac-binhex40; name="car.hqx" [The BinHex4.0 file goes here] 4.
Even though a BinHex file includes the original Macintosh filename, it is recommended that a name parameter be included on the Content- Type header to give the recipient a hint as to what file is attached.
The value of the name parameter must be a "value" as defined by RFC- 1521 [BORE93].

 What is BinHex? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
Any file, whether it be a graphics file, a text file, or a binary executable file, can be converted to BinHex.
This format is particularly valuable for transferring files from one platform to another because nearly all computers can handle ASCII files.
BinHex is an especially common format for Macintosh files.
http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/B/BinHex.html

  
 So what's BinHex all about?
BinHex is the Mac(intosh) 'equivalent' of UU encoding or MIME, a BinHex file incorporates all the information (file creation and modification dates, creator, type, e.t.c.) about the file (and any resource fork associated with it).
Trim the BinHexed file down to the '(This file' bit and 'attach' it to a email sent to a colleague who uses a Mac emailer which *should* recognise and decode the file, I got this to work with someone using 'Eudora', it might work for you too.
If that machine happens to be a Acorn 32bit machine then there is either !SparkFS which is a commercial decoder/encoder/compressor/decompressor for all sorts of files (including BinHex).

 BinHex Format Standard
You only have to open the file in a word processor to ascertain that the file you received is indeed a BinHex file.
The BinHex format is also used by some programs to build Macintosh files on other platforms.
The suffix used for binhexed files is generally HQX.

 comp.sys.mac.comm FAQ (v 2.4.1) Feb 15 2003
There is also a program/format called "BinHex 5.0"; but it is NOT a more advanced version of "BinHex 4.0" but rather a separate _binary_ encoding format (see [2.2]).
Binhex 4.0 files also can be identified externally by the suffix ".hqx".
The reason you will want to use Binhex rather than MacBinary as your encoding format is that Binhex is useable in areas (like Usenet and E-mail) that cannot use the entire 8-bit character set.

 WebSTAR Auto BinHex
WebSTAR Auto BinHex will never allow files with a creator that starts with "WWW" to be BinHexed and served, because these are control files and must be kept secure.
The WebSTAR Auto BinHex default is to cache the encoded copy is in a Temporary Items folder, which is flushed by the system if the cache gets too full, and at shutdown.
You can configure the Plug-In to not cache, so it will always Binhex on the fly, which is appropriate for files that are constantly changing.

BINHEX will present you with a 'Mini-Finder', where you choose the file to convert, and then will present you with a 'Put-File' window where you choose the name of the file you're creating,and the drive it will wind up on.
As with the BASIC version, if any error occurs while BINHEX.PAS is creating BINHEX5, you will be told, and no BINHEX will be created.
Remember that BINHEX will require 8K of free space on whichever disk you write it to.

WHAT ABOUT.Z? As.hqx is the standard suffix for BinHexed files,.Z is the standard suffix for files encoded with the UNIX program "compress".
If you are getting the error messages "System Error -39", "System Error -199" or BinHex 4.0 "cannot be opened because app that created it cannot be found", then you have NOT downloaded it according to the instructions above, whether or not you think that you have.
The "textbook" method of handling files tells you to use the BinHex 4.0 application to unbinhex files, but since the archiving apps in use today include the ability to encode/decode binhex files, BinHex 4.0 is unnecessary, but you will need it to unbinhex the actual archiving programs!

 Decoding Internet Attachments - A Tutorial
Comparing the file to the examples in Uuencode, MIME, Base64, Quoted-Printable, Binhex, yEnc and Other sections should allow you to identify the type of encoding used.
By compressing a file that is mostly text, this will force the sending program to use Base64, Binhex or Uuencoding which will make the file immune to these modifications.
Theoretically, MIME could even use Uuencode, Binhex, or other methods, but that is both rare and frowned upon in the MIME standards ( RFC 2045).

 Prehistory of BinHex
Note the wording of the comment in the first line, the functions FND1 and FND2, and the stone age user interface (enter 1 for binary to hex, 2 for hex to binary).
The executable itself was uploaded in hex format, so one needed to de-hexify it with the interpreted version to get started.
To summarize, the Mac Basic program went through several revisions during 1984, culminating in BinHex 3.0.

 BinHex Class
In MIME, the use of BinHex is deprecated; applesingle and appledouble are the preferred format for encoding Macintosh files.
Class for converting files to or from BinHex format.
BinHex is a format used almost exclusively on Macintosh computers for encoding files into text characters for transmission through the mail transport system or for archiving on non-Macintosh systems.
http://www.hunnysoft.com/nmime/doc/Hunny.Mime.BinHex.html

  
 BinHex from FOLDOC
Because BinHex files are simply text they can be sent through most electronic mail systems and stored on most computers.
However the conversion to text makes the file larger, so it takes longer to transmit a file in BinHex format than if the file was represented some other way.
The file is converted to lines of letters, numbers and punctuation.

 BinHex - a Whatis.com definition
BinHex is a utility for converting (encoding) Macintosh files into files that will travel well on networks either as files or e-mail attachments.
Like Uuencode, BinHex encodes a file from its 8-bit binary or bit-stream representation into a 7-bit ASCII set of text characters.
Otherwise, you can download a BinHex utility for use in either the Macintosh, Windows, or other systems.

The main program displays a string in Base64 encoding and then decodes the encoding to verify that it contains the correct string.
This example shows how to encode and decode text to and from the BinHex and Base64 encodings in Visual Basic 6.
To decode the Base 64, the program makes an XML string containing the encoded information, loads it, and reads the decoder node's text.
