Sorry if this sounds harsh or rude, but can I ask you what exactly extended filesystem attributes (usually ACLs) have to do with file resource forks on OS X? AFAIK they have nothing to do with one another. Also, you're aware of how Apple solved the resource fork problem when archiving something in a .zip file, right? The "_MACOSX" directory within the .zip. So basically what I'm saying/getting at is this: there is no solution for the resource fork issue on Apple products, since nothing other than Apple products knows/supports resource forks.. And this comes from someone who's an old Apple II developer (yes, we had resource forks on files on the IIGS). You may have to detect files with resource forks and .zip them first. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc@parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
