| | MacBinary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Due to the Mac OS forked file structure, transferring Mac OS files to non-Macintosh computers is problematic. | | | BinHex, but MacBinary produces binary files as opposed to ASCII text. | | | For Mac OS X, the MacBinary format has been largely superseded by the.dmg disk image format which appears in the Finder as a mounted volume after it has been double-clicked. |

| | MacBinary is a binary (non-text) format that encodes Macintosh files so that they can be safely stored or transfered through non-Macintosh systems. | | | MacBinary combines the two forks of a Mac file, together with the file information (Name, Creator Application, File Type, etc) into a single binary data stream, suitable for storage on non-Mac systems. | | | This serves a simmilar purpose to BinHex, except that BinHex takes things even further and stores the file using only text characters, so that the file will be preserved on almost any system, and can be sent through Email or USENET News without loss or corruption. |

| | Glossary |
| | Although MacBinary files will work most of the time, if you have trouble after download, try using the BinHex version of a file. | | | The MacBinary format combines all this information into a single file. | | | But there's this extra resource fork part (which is really important since applications won't run without it) as well as special file information (so the Mac knows which application to run for a file, for instance). |

| | MacBinary II |
| | To determine if a header is a valid MacBinary header, check bytes 0 and 74 to be both zero. | | | If the header does NOT represent a valid MB II header, the program must at minimum check byte 82 to be zero--if it is not zero, the file is not a MB I file. | | | If they are both zero, either (a) the CRC should match, which means it is a MB II file, or (b) byte 82 is zero, which means it may be a MB I file. |

| | If you think that the file you have to send will be received in a program managing the MacBinary header and that you are the knowledgeable person of the two, it can be useful to "forge" a Macbinary file on your PC and send it in this form. | | | Here are the instructions for using our MacDisk program to transfer the file to a Macintosh HD floppy disk. | | | When you download a Macintosh file from a server, be it a data file, a program file or an archive, you generally download a MacBinary file (See also our page on binhexed files). |
