G HEXIFY and DEHEXIFY came from the VMS KERMIT distribution.  HEXIFY will F convert binary files to ASCII files, where each byte is represented byE an ASCII hexadecimal value.  DEHEXIFY converts the ASCII file back to 5 its binary form, maintaining all VMS file attributes.   H These versions will run under both OpenVMS VAX and OpenVMS AXP (AXP portC done by Hunter Goatley <goathunter@WKUVX1.BITNET> on July 2, 1993).   E HEXIFY and DEHEXIFY work well, but the resulting .HEX file is usually B almost twice the size of the original file.  No attempt is made to@ optimize the hexified file.  To produce smaller ASCII files, youH may want to look at Carlo Mekenkamp's MFTU package, which you can get by> sending the command SEND MFTU in the body of a mail message to FILESERV@WKUVX1.BITNET. 
