Maz once recommended to post Maconverter a second time and call it "Mac ObjAction Mover"... :-) To repeat it another time - all of Mover's features are build into Maconverter, decoding happens "on the fly" during the conversion, encoding has a separate panel in the dialog box and can be chosen by the menu command. Before the good olde "why must files be typed on a Mac" discussion breaks out once again, a little note about it... Most text editors on every platform have a restriction to correct filetypes - on PC by the name, on Mac by its internal type. A typical PC text editor will only open "something.txt", but not "something.xyz" unless you force it to do so (by an option or by renaming). Same on Mac - if you use BBEdit, you get a little pop-up in the "open" dialog. As long as it says "All available", you can only open properly typed text files. Set it to "Any file", and you can open (yes!) any file. If you save it, the original type stays valid. This way you don't have to re-type it a single time with utilities. That's all.
