=== Internet usage === While the [[Internet]] was gaining popularity in the 1990s, email was still the primary method of moving files. Relatively few people had full access, and services like [[FTPmail]] were the only way many users could download files. Consequently, binary files still required encoding, and BinHex 4.0 remained a popular tool for doing so into the late 1990s. BinHexed files can still be found today in archives of [[classic Mac OS]] software.{{sfn|Lempereur|1997}}
