Hi Scott,

On both Mac OS X and Mac OS 9 you need to set the filetype to "???? APPL" (or use whatever creator type you have chosen for your application instead of the question marks).

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille

While I seem able to suck up a Windows executable (into a custom prop) and then spit it out in working order, I'm having trouble doing the same with Mac OS9 applications.

In addition to sucking up the application with < url ("binfile:" & tPathToApp) >

I also get the resource fork using < get URL ("resfile:" & tPathToApp) >

I then reconstitute the application with < put (the uApplication of this stack) into URL ("binfile:" & tInstallPath) >

and reset the resources using < put (the uAppResource of this stack) into URL ("resfile:" & tInstallPath) >

ResEdit shows the resources for the reconstituted OS9 app to be in place but something obviously isn't quite right as the app loses its icon and opens with TextEdit when double-clicked. I'm hoping someone will know what I'm doing wrong...

Enterprise  2.9.0 rc-4
PPC OSX 10.5  (&  10.2)

Thanks
