+<P>
+<B><TT>DwBinhex</TT></B> converts data to or from Binhex 4.0 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. The format includes the file name,
+file type, file creator, Macintosh Finder flags, data fork, resource fork,
+and checksums. In MIME, the use of Binhex is deprecated; applesingle and
+appledouble are the preferred format for encoding Macintosh files. The Binhex
+4.0 format is described in RFC-1741. Binhex is a widely used, <I>de facto</I>
+standard, but it is not an official Internet standard.
+<P>
+To use <B><TT>DwBinhex</TT></B> for converting a Macintosh file to Binex
+format, call the member functions <B><TT>SetFileName()</TT></B>,
+<B><TT>SetFileType()</TT></B>, <B><TT>SetFileCreator()</TT></B>,
+<B><TT>SetFlag1()</TT></B>, <B><TT>SetFlag2()</TT></B>,
+<B><TT>SetDataFork()</TT></B>, and <B><TT>SetResourceFork()</TT></B> to set
+the elements to be encoded. Any elements that are not set by calling one
+of the member functions are assigned reasonable defaults. Then call the
+<B><TT>Encode()</TT></B> member function to actually perform the conversion
+to Binhex. Finally, call <B><TT>BinhexChars()</TT></B> to retrieve the Binhex
+characters.
+<P>
+To use <B><TT>DwBinhex</TT></B> for converting a Macintosh file from Binhex
+format, call the member function <B><TT>SetBinhexChars()</TT></B> to assign
+the Binhex characters to be converted. Then call <B><TT>Decode()</TT></B>
+to actually perform the conversion. Finally, call
+<B><TT>FileName()</TT></B>, <B><TT>FileType()</TT></B>,
+<B><TT>FileCreator()</TT></B>, <B><TT>Flag1()</TT></B>,
+<B><TT>Flag2()</TT></B>, <B><TT>DataFork()</TT></B>, and
+<B><TT>ResourceFork()</TT></B> to extract the decoded elements.
+<P>
+Note: <B><TT>DwBinhex</TT></B> does not change the file name in any way.
+When you you are dealing with file names, you should be aware of the fact
+that some filenames that are valid on a Macintosh may cause problems or
+unexpected results on a non-Macintosh system, and vice versa. Such problem
+characters include slash ('/'), colon (':'), space and possibly other characters.

+<P>
+<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> <A NAME="DwBinhex">DwBinhex</A>() </B></FONT>
+<P>
+This is the default constructor.
+<P>
+<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> void <A NAME="Initialize">Initialize</A>() </B></FONT>
+<P>
+Resets the object's internal state to its initial state. Call this member
+function to reuse the object for more than one encode or decode operation.
+<P>
+<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> const char* <A NAME="FileName">FileName</A>()
+const<BR>
+void <A NAME="SetFileName">SetFileName</A>(const char* aName) </B></FONT>
+<P>
+Gets or sets the file name. The file name is restricted to a maximum length
+of 63 characters.
+<P>
+<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> void <A NAME="FileType">FileType</A>(char* aBuf)
+const<BR>
+void <A NAME="SetFileType">SetFileType</A>(const char* aType) </B></FONT>
+<P>
+Gets or sets the file type. All Macintosh files have a file type, which is
+represented by four bytes. Some examples include "TEXT" for a text file,
+or "APPL" for an application. <B><TT>aBuf</TT></B> should point to an array
+of at least four characters.
+<P>
+<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> void <A NAME="FileCreator">FileCreator</A>(char* aBuf)
+const <BR>
+void <A NAME="SetFileCreator">SetFileCreator</A>(const char* aType)
+</B></FONT>
+<P>
+Gets or sets the file creator. Most Macintosh files have a creator, which
+is represented by a signature of four bytes. The creator specifies which
+application to launch when a file's icon is double clicked.
+<B><TT>aBuf</TT></B> should point to an array of at least four characters.
+<P>
+<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> DwUint8 <A NAME="Flag1">Flag1</A>() const <BR>
+void <A NAME="SetFlag1">SetFlag1</A>(DwUint8 aFlag) </B></FONT>
+<P>
+Gets or sets the first byte of the Macintosh Finder flags. For files that
+originate on non-Macintosh systems, this byte should be set to zero (the
+default).
+<P>
+<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> DwUint8 <A NAME="Flag2">Flag2</A>() const <BR>
+void <A NAME="SetFlag2">SetFlag2</A>(DwUint8 aFlag) </B></FONT>
+<P>
+Gets or sets the second byte of the Macintosh Finder flags. For files that
+originate on non-Macintosh systems, this byte should be set to zero (the
+default).
+<P>
+<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> const DwString&amp; <A NAME="DataFork">DataFork</A>()
+const <BR>
+void <A NAME="SetDataFork">SetDataFork</A>(const DwString&amp; aStr)
+</B></FONT>
+<P>
+Gets or sets the data fork for the file. For files that originate on
+non-Macintosh systems, such as a GIF or JPEG file, the file data should be
+set as the data fork.
+<P>
+<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> const DwString&amp;
+<A NAME="ResourceFork">ResourceFork</A>() const<BR>
+void <A NAME="SetResourceFork">SetResourceFork</A>(const DwString&amp; aStr)
+</B></FONT>
+<P>
+Gets or sets the resource fork for the file. For files that originate on
+non-Macintosh systems, such as a GIF or JPEG file, the resource should be
+normally be empty.
+<P>
+<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> const DwString&amp;
+<A NAME="BinhexChars">BinhexChars</A>() const<BR>
+void <A NAME="SetBinhexChars">SetBinhexChars</A>(const DwString&amp; aStr)
+</B></FONT>
+<P>
+Gets or sets the characters of the Binhex encoded file.
+<P>
+<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> void <A NAME="Encode">Encode</A>() </B></FONT>
+<P>
+Converts the Macintosh file information to Binhex format.
+<P>
+<FONT COLOR="teal"><B> int <A NAME="Decode">Decode</A>() </B></FONT>
+<P>
+Converts the Macintosh file information from Binhex format. Returns zero
+if the decode operation completes successufully; otherwise, the function
+returns -1.
