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 recipients of this email ! -- Perso. e-mail: Work e-mail: BenH.
