Hey People,

If I do an 'ls -la' command in the terminal, many of the files look  
like this when listed:

-rw-rw-rw-@  1 wrr  wheel  1152 Feb 25 13:40 abc.do
-rw-rw-rw-@  1 wrr  wheel  4050 Feb 25 13:40 def.do
-rw-rw-rw-@  1 wrr  wheel  6547 Feb 25 13:45 ghi.do

What does the pesky @ sign mean at the end of the file permissions?  
The man pages give no insight.

Notes about the files:

These files were decompressed from a zip file.
The .zip file was decompressed from the Finder via a double-click.
The files are straight ASCII text files with Unix-style ends of lines.
The .do extension is used by Stata (a statistical package).

Bill
