Thanks. This is good for future reference. It appears that the latest
ResTransporter doesn't like the version of OS X I was trying to run it
on (10.2.8). I had a colleague try it on 10.4 and it worked OK.

It's not that I'm anti-Classic. I just don't have a machine with it
installed.
2. Transx from http://solo-dev.com/Docs/TransX.zip. It's an
applescript application someone wrote which works quite well.
3. Aparajita even wrote and posted this shell script once a while ago:

toupper(substr($0, RSTART, RLENGTH)) }'`

cp -f "$1" "$2/$filename$dataExtension"

cp -f "$1/..namedfork/rsrc" "$2/$filename$resExtension"

The first thing I need to do is split the single Mac Active4D.4CX
plugin so that I can install it in the Mac4DX folder on our Windows
server. I have the ResTransporter Utility
(http://www.softrobots.de/dimension/index.html), but when I run it
creates a single file named Active4D. When I launch it it says it
wants to Transport from Windows to Macintosh. I can't find a
preference or switch to make it work the other way.
Any ideas or alternate suggestions?
Thanks,
