File 'Comments' on OS 9 and OS X

[David Noel]

Using OS 9.2 on an iMac, I used the 'Comment' box in a heap of digital 
image files to store a description of each image. By including a 
Comment column in Finder views for the folders containing these images, 
I could show lists of these JPEGs with a description for each.

Now I've switched to 10.2, I find that the Comment boxes for each of 
these files appear to be empty. Can anyone comment on this, or show a 
way to recover them? The files themselves haven't been altered between 
9.2 and 10.2, so presumably the information is there somewhere. I guess 
I could restart my computer on 9.2 itself (rather than Classic) and the 
comment information should be there, but that would only let me access 
one comment at a time. TIA.
