We are using Unix boxes as AppleShare servers. Our interface (a GatorBox) maps AppleShare <-> nfs/Apple-Double. I am writing a program to convert ASCII reports to a format readable by programs on the Mac -- we just want the users to be able to double-click on the icon. Where can I get the structure of the resource fork of Apple-Double format? I have been able to reverse engineer parts of it (it does work as is), but I expect that I could do other neat things if I knew more. Specifically, I'd like to be able to mark the files as readonly/shareable. Please send E-mail, as I only read this group irregularly. Thanks for your help. -- Scott Henry | Tardis Express -- when it Information Services, | absolutely, positively Silicon Graphics, Inc | has to be there -- yesterday.
