Hi All,
Yes, you're right - Tiger's tar DOES work (a la the AppleDouble
approach of splitting of such files into file and ._file on the Linux
side).
Unfortunately, it was rsync that was the big win and attraction, but
I'll try the tar approach to see if it can do it well enough. We'll
be supporting fewer OSX boxen so it may not be a problem..
Thanks Peter and Jacob for the help and corrections.
Harry
