I got a (MacOS Error code: -4960) when trying to open a file that I
created with this command:
$ strings ~/Library/Mail/Signatures/*webarchive | bbedit
I get the same error if I redirect to 'sigs.txt' and then try to open
the file in bbedit directly.
I can vi the file just fine, and in the terminal I don't see any weird
characters:
$ cat -v ~/Desktop/sigs.txt | more

(Just to show that the cat -v and cat are the same and that
^WebResourceURL_ is not a control-W)
Can anyone confirm this before I go whine to support? BBEdit 8.7.2
under Leopard 10.5.1.
If I open the file in vi, insert a space, save the file, then BBedit
can open it without an error.
