What I've actually got is a folder of about 1000 tiny GIF files, about
4K each, and I'm trying to setup an automatic download both on Mac and
Windows. The download at 4 megs with so many files takes forever
unless I compress the files using zip on the Mac and StuffIt on
Windows to make an SEA. Windows works nice and transparently since
StuffIt for Windows lets me prepare the SEA so it auto extracts in the
same folder and self deletes. The problem on the Mac side is the zip
file does not self extract since I can't count on Archive Utility
being there (sometimes it's call "BOM Archive" or something weird).
Even if I use Rev's launch command to try to extract from the zip file
it returns true in the result but does nothing. Unfortunately StuffIt
for Mac doesn't let me set it up to extract to the same folder which
means I have to prompt the user to determine where things go,
definitely a no-no in educational software. Rev's compress feature
doesn't seem to let me combine multiple files into a single file. Any
ideas?
Thanks,

RE file types and creators, this is a utility that every mac developer
should have. It allows examination and batch change of file types and

FILE TYPE AND CREATOR

This is a great companion for batch suffix OR any name changes:
R-NAME
http://movieconverter.online.fr/DL/R-NameUB.zip
the original author and his website have disappeared, but someone
has kindly
recompiled from the source code this version, Universal, which works
with
Mac OS10.5.8 PPC for me. There is some word that this utility destroys
spotlight comments, no biggie for me.
Both are Donationware products that I've used for years.

If type and creator are not listed, then they are empty and whatever
created the files did not include that information in the file -
it's not
automatic on file creation.

Anybody know how to find out what these 8 characters are for any
given Mac
file? I'm particularly interested in .zip files but it would be
nice to
know how to ascertain this for any Mac file. Getting the "long
files" or
the detailed files" usually leaves off the 11th param which is
just what I'm
looking for; the creator and file type.
