BXY is the format currently required for new uploads to the Apple II libraries of GEnie and Compuserve. These files can be created and unpacked with ShrinkIt.
Although this "envelope within an envelope" format may seem redundant, it has several advantages. Ideally, the Binary II envelope will be entirely "transparent" to end users - it will be automatically added by telecommunications software during uploading, and automatically removed during downloading
As more telecommunications programs come to support automatic Binary II packing and unpacking, this ideal will be increasingly realized. Thus, if your telecommunications software supports automatic Binary II unpacking during downloading, you can turn this option on when downloading a .BXY file. Doing this will give you a downloaded file which is a "bare" NuFX archive.
Thanks to the Binary II envelope, this file will automatically be given the correct name and filetype.
Use ShrinkIt to work with *.bxy files.
