I did some poking around on the web for Mac OS X unix calls that do compression/decompression while preserving the resource-fork, and it appears that the "ditto" command does the trick.
to compress before uploading to the web: % ditto -c -X -z --rsrc some_folder some_folder.cpio To decompress, after downloading from the web: % ditto -c -X -z --rsrc some_folder some_folder.cpio There's a whole article dedicated to this issue, found at: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20031118111144197 My only concern is that I'm not sure if this works in all versions of Mac OS X (10.2 and up). It's working great for me in 10.3. I'm able to make these calls from Rev using the shell() command. - Rob _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
