Hi Cindy,

It sounds to me like you're copying the data fork of the file, but not the resource fork. I would compare both files using a resource editor (such as ResEdit under Classic) to see if your destination app contains any resources and has its file flags set properly.

Just a guess,

Steve

Hi All,

Just wondered if somebody could help me with. I'm trying to copy a file across the network using a tcp socket. The file I'm copying is a REALbasic compiled application. If I use folderitem.macreator, the file comes across as a document. If I add folderitem.mactype and set this as APPL (which is the same as the original file) it comes across as a Mac OS 9 application. How would I bring the file across so it stays with exactly the same icon and opens as a Mac OS X application as it should. I'll also need this to behave
properly with Windows and Mac OS 9.

Can somebody please tell me what I'm missing here?

Thanks.

Cindy
