- Ah.. But I thought I corrected for that, by changing the TYPE to BIN & A/UX
- while the file was still in the Mac partition. Then when I move the file from
- the Mac Partition, to a A/UX partition, the file is not supposed to be
- converted.
-
- Anyway, I was finally successful transferring the file via floppy. I "bar'd"
- it from my sparc, and used suntar on the mac to get the file into a mac
- partition. Then, I used ResEdit to change the finder attributes to BIN & A/UX,
- and copied the file from Mac to A/UX partition. This worked. The resulting
- file in the A/UX partition "passed" the checksum.
-
- However, it did not solve my initial problem (in a separate post <sign>).
