Ignore any of the files whose name starts with an underscore ( _ ). Those are the resource fork halves of the files. Just work with the normal named files. For any file that doesn't need a resource fork (like PDF, JPEG, and most other data files), they should work as expected on Windows. If the file needed a resource fork, then you wouldn't be able to open it in Windows anyway. The real problem comes when you go to open these files on a Mac not running OS X. They also see the files as split, rendering them useless to Mac OS 9 and prior if you needed the resource fork (such as if you transfered an application from OS X to OS 9 via a USB Keychain). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
