From the original Amiga UNIX 2.1 manual. Some things it mentions may not be in this release.
NAME
binarsys - remote system information for the ckbinarsys command
DESCRIPTION
binarsys contains lines of the form:
remote_system_name:val where val is either Y or N. This line indicates whether that particular remote system can properly deal with mes- sages having binary content. The absence of an entry for a particular system or absence of the binarsys file altogether will imply No.
Blank lines or lines beginning with # are considered comments and ignored. Should a line of Default=y be encountered, the default condition for missing entries described in the previous paragraph is reversed to be Yes. Another line of Default=n will restore the default condition to No. mail is distributed with the binarsys file containing only a Default=y line.
