Actually, as of 10.4, nearly every command line tool now preserves

I'm glad to see someone whos knows about that.
I'd like to ask something: is it possible, now with 10.4, to avoid
copying HFS data?
My problem: I've made an app to copy ".mp3" files to an Mp3 drive.
Since this drive is NTFS formatted, I had to copy only the data
(using CopyFileTo also copies resfork and metadata), so I used the
cp command. As you can imagine, it doesn't work anymore with MaxOS
10.4 (where the Finder replaces my app).
Yes. The tools that support this mention how to do this in the man
pages ("man cp"). In this case, it appears the -X option will turn off
resource fork and "Extended Attributes" copying. That should do what
you're looking for.
HTH,
Jon
