cheers. :-)
Prior to 10.4, they were resource fork-based. I've actually written
a quick-and-dirty converter droplet (based on a tip I saw at
MacOSXHints) to go in the webloc->url direction, for the one time
I've ever wanted to make some of my weblocs accessible to
Windows-using colleagues. Both my webloc2url and url2webloc droplets
are here:
<http://www.mindspring.com/~alqahira/Webloc-URL_scripts.zip> (Of
course, Camino handles .url files, so there's little need for the
second unless you just want to banish .url files from your Mac.)
Perhaps that will be useful to the OP--and it will be significantly
easier than getting Apple to rewrite the Finder ;)
