- Jawaid (you know who) suggested the following to make an extended file P8
- compatible:
-
- >SetEOF(0) on the resource fork.
-
- Sorry, but while that may actually clear the resource fork contents, the
- file's storage type will remain extended (type 5) which is what P8 chokes
- on in the first place. Jawaid's second suggestion is better:
-
- >Copy the data fork to a new file, delete the old one, rename the new
- >one to be the same as the original.
