: Here's a fairly simple, uninformed question: If I am using Atque under
: Windows to merge map resources created on a Mac (OS 9.2), how do I bring
: the files over to my PC in a way that retains the resource fork data (term
: PICTs for example) and in a form that Atque knows what to do with.
: Right now, when I pull the files from my Mac over my home network, my PC
: helpfully strips out any part of the files it does not understand like the
: resource fork. Should I .zip or .sit the merge folder on my Mac to prevent
: this, and will Atque know what to do with an archived folder?
If you MacBinary the files on the Mac side and then transfer them over, Atque will be able to split them open and get the resources out into a format that you can then edit/replace/etc and remerge with Atque.
You can easily MacBinary anything if the Mac is running OSX by opening a Terminal window, typing "macbinary" (don't hit return yet), dragging the file you want MacBinaried in after it (which will paste its filepath there), then hitting return. You will now have a whateverfile.bin next to the original.
If the Mac is not running OSX, you can MacBinary files with a drag-and-drop program like this one.
