We've got lots of A/UX boxes around, and it's a massive pain having big directories full of AppleSingle/Double files and big directories full of CAP files, none of which can speak to each other without translation. I'd prefer to use the same disk space for both, and I'd prefer it to be in AppleSingle/Double format since native file reading is much faster under A/UX than CAP AUFS access. --John -------------------------------------------------------------------------- John L.
