>From a message dated 9/12/00 from [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Now, moving things back from the MAC to the PC there are a few things you
will
have to do. The .mcp file needs to be given the right extension, so rename
it
adding the .mcp on the end. Now there will be finder.dat files everywhere,
and
resource forks for everything. oh well. But the thing I find annoying is
that if
on the MAC I had a resource file called realbigdog.rsrc (the file name is
longer
then 8 characters and the extension is longer then 3), when I move it to the
PC
-> in the Rsc director there will be realbigdog.rsrc, but the file in the
resource.frk subdirectory (that has the info in it) will be called
realbi~1.rsr
. Such that if I was to just try and open the file realbigdog.rsrc with
constructor, it would look for a realbigdog.rsrc file in the resource.frk
folder - not find one - create a new one with nothing in it. The solution
is of
course to first go find that dummy realbi~1.rsr file in the resource.frk
folder
and rename it realbigdog.rsrc to match the name one directory up. You can
keep
the name to 8 or less characters, but regardless, .rsrc will be truncated to
.rsr .
