Re: Executor/NS and Mac SCSI drives

as "complete" MacOS files. Is there a strategy for doing this that I  
am missing?

The only solution that I have found for this problem is to convert  
the Mac files from Apple Single Format to Apple Double Format (the  
format used by Executor) with a conversion tool on the Mac end. Its  
ugly but it works. I haven't found any way to do this from the NeXT  
end. I found a Mac tool out on the net called "tickle" (which is  
really a tcl scripting engine for Mac) that has many Mac/PC/UNIX  
conversion utilities built in, including Apple Single <-> Apple  
Double.
