- When a Mac file is transmitted to an IBM, and the Mac has MacBinary turned on,
- a header is added to the beginning of the file. It's 128 bytes long.
-
- What I do, is open the file with a text editor, and look at what the Type and
- Creator SHOULD be - it's in the 128 byte header. Then, I delete the first 128
- bytes and use a utility to chabge the type & creator to shat they should be.
- Then, they'll open right up.
