Subject: BootX 1.1.2 in a tarball
Date: Thu, 5 Aug 1999 20:40:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <19990805204041.006632@mail.mipsys.com> (raw)
Ok, I finally followed Brad Midgley suggestion to make a tarball of the
BootX folder copied to a netatalk volume. So you have a tarball
containing all the .AppleDouble stuffs. You can get this back intact on
MacOS (with resource forks, type/creators, ...) only by mounting it over
the network via netatalk. However, you win the ability to read the source
from Linux ;-) (You may still have trouble with MacOS-like carriage
returns, I'll try to fix this for the next minor release).
So welcome http://calvaweb.calvacom.fr/bh40/BootX_1.1.2.tgz ;-)
However, take care of the fact that ordinary MacOS tools like Stuffit are
completely unable to expand those things. The result is usually
unuseable. I hope someone with a bit of MacOS knowledge will find the
time to write a decompression tool for that. I do have the knowledge but
unfortunately not the time :-(
n.b. you may have noticed the cross-postingm, don't reply to all
