How do I open a file that is in MacBinary format on a Windows or Unix machine?

If want to view it on a Windows machine, first you need to log into a Unix machine to extract out the data.

1. From a terminal window, type:

binhex file_name > output_file_name 

2. From a terminal window, type:

hexbin -d output_file_name

Then you can open up the file with the usual application (e.g., ImHex, Hexyl or GHex for Red Hat Enterprise Linux or HxD Hex Editor or Hex Editor Neo for Microoft Windows).
