Hi there,

I've had good experiences using bcrtool on the mac.
You can find it here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/bcrtool

umm... no download link? try http://bcrtool.cvs.sourceforge.net/bcrtool/

$ ./bcrtool.py
bcrtool version 2006.09.24 by Brian Rzycki <brzycki at  
users.sourceforge.net>
Usage:
bcrtool -s | -t [-f] [-h] [-i input_file] [-o output_file]
     -f    Force overwriting of the given output file
     -i    Name of input file; if no file is given, standard input is  
used
     -o    Name of output file; if no file is given standard output is  
used
     -s    Create a sysex file from an inputted template file
     -t    Create a template file from an inputted sysex file

Examples:
   Convert sysex file init.syx to a template in file init.bcr:
   $ bcrtool -t -i init.syx -o init.bcr

   Convert template file init.bcr to a sysex file init.syx:
   $ bcrtool -s -i init.bcr -o init.syx

   Convert template file init.bcr to a sysex file init.syx and overwrite
   init.syx even if it exists:
   $ bcrtool -s -f -i init.bcr -o init.syx

   Convert standard input into a sysex file named init.syx:
   (input from somewhere) | bcrtool -s -o init.syx

   This help screen:
   $ bcrtool -h
