21.012 Should I add a Binary II header to files I upload?
In general, no. Binary II is an Apple-only device which, today, is largely
unnecessary and can cause problems. Virtually the only valid use for Binary II
is to retain filetype information for .SEA self-extracting archives. (An .SEA
file with a Binary II header is a .BSE file.) The only file which significantly
benefits form a Binary II header is a self-extracting archive of GS-ShrinkIt.
