Hi folks,

I've managed to get the Mac OS 7.5.3 disk image running in Shapeshifter on my A1200 with TF1260, using a physical partition on the TF1260 IDE header (for a bit more speed).

It's running nice and snappy, but for the life of me I cannot work out how to move files using the mac-handler.

I understand that there are two "forks" for mac files, "data" and resource". I am copying a file I picked up to install Toast (adaptec-Toast-Deluxe-4.2.sit) using mac-handler (default "DATA") setting, which then appears on the Mac desktop. However, "get info" describes it as a SimleText text document. And when I try to expand it using Stuffit Expander, it looks like it's going to work, then creates a folder on the desktop with a single file called "Adaptec Toast 4.2", but the file has no attributes.

Any help on how to move files using mac-handler whilst retaining the file attributes would be much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance,

AndyC
