Go up one level in this thread


The Mac file system has a data and a resource fork (while others only have the
data fork). The resource fork is very important for programs. Don't
decode/decompress a BinHex archive (*.hqx) which has the resource fork coded
into the data part, and it will survive the transport over a PC (disk).

Last but not loast:

Give Vanessa Chess a try:
