E/DOS file question
I've never quite understood Executor/DOS' use of disk files. Okay, the HFV
files are the simulated hard disk volumes. That's clear enough. But if I
do this:
1. import an archive from MS-DOS--call it "Import.cpt"
2. run binhex on the file to make in Mac-ish
3. expand the archive and go on my merry way
I find that I have files called import.cpt and %import.cpt on my hard disk.
I'm guessing that the first is the original, untouched, MS-DOS file. But what
is the second? Is the Mac-useable file stored in the HFV file, out of harm's
way? What happens if I now delete the two files?
