​KembaraXtra-Computer Terms – BinHex:
As a verb, BinHex refers to the process of converting a binary file into printable ASCII text using the BinHex encoding method, or reversing the process to reconstruct the original binary file. The conversion allows binary files to be transmitted over systems designed primarily for text communication.
Once the encoded text file reaches its destination, the BinHex decoding process restores the original binary data so that the file can be used normally by the receiving computer system.
