BinHex Encoded File |
| Category |
Encoded Files |
| Common? |
No |
| File Description |
File encoded with an early version of BinHex (binary-to-hexadecimal) encoding software; used for converting files to a text format that could be sent via e-mail without being corrupted; typically takes up more space than the original file.
The BinHex program is only available for the Mac; newer versions of the program save BinHex files with a .HQX extension rather than ".hex." |
