- I would hazard a guess that most of these problems are due to the "invisible"
- translation of some files that A/UX does when stuff is dragged from the
- A/UX file system to/from MacPartition (or other MacOS disks).
-
- If at all possible, download the files directly to the A/UX file system using
- A/UX tools (in Binary mode). If you download binaries to MacPartition,
- then make sure that before you copy them to A/UX, A/UX "thinks" that they
- are "A/UX" " BIN" files...
