Thaks to everyone who replied to my question.
(re: mac executables becoming unusable after being moved accross a network
using a pc).
I aposigise that it took me so long to reply/follow up: Some new projects
came up and I got side tracked....
I did try most of the suggestions, but couldn't get them to work.
The two shareware apps -

and

- did restore the projector's icon, but the resource forks were hopelessly
missing, so the projectors could not be executed.
Setting file associations, both on the NT server and my own PC (using
PC-Maclan) produced null results as well, for some reason. The most I could
manage was to retain the icon, but the resource forks still got seperated.
I haven't got stuffit for the pc yet, but from my experience with
downloading stuffed mac files and then moving them to the mac and
un-suffing, that should work. The only thing is, I need to be able to work
with the files (such as put them in the right folder), and I obviously can't
do that while they're compressed. Does uncompressing the files on the pc
actually retain resource forks and assosciations?
The only solution I have so far is the one I'd been using all along, and
that is to use a mac to move the files over the network. That seems to
preserve the files, as long as I don't use a pc to move them around again.
I'll keep in mind the stuffit solution for backup purposes.
I must say I'm a bit confused about why the solutions I tried didn't work
for me, since they seem to have worked for you guys...
Thanks again for all your help,
Karina
