DropHex is a new Drag & Drop BinHex utility.  It supports bulk encoding &
decoding of files & folders, truncating long file names, prompts for duplicate
file names, options for Save locations (same as the file, prompt, and specific
folder), option to set Type & Creator to Stuffit Expander, add Line Feeds for PC
compatibility, and toggle file type visibility.

DropHex also introduces a newly expanded BinHex aarchive format called MultiBin.
MultiBin supports BinHex encoding of multiple files and folders, as well as
saving Finder flags and folder icons.

To extract the individual BinHex files and folders from a MultiBin file without
decoding them, hold down the Command key when dropping a MultiBin file onto
DropHex.

MuliBin files can be manually deconstructed, and each file can be decoded using
a standard BinHex 4.0 decoder. Below is an overview of the file format.

// Every block below is preceded by the standard BinHex 4.0 preamble line
// "(This file must be converted with BinHex 4.0)", so any single block
// can be handed to a standard decoder as-is.
