- I have downloaded 4 programs off of AOL. My problem is that none of them
- have a "resource fork". With the ".sit" archives I have been able to set
- the creator with the "GetInfor" menu item and type to "SIT!" (w/o the
- quotes, of course) and then Stuff-it will recognize them as stuffit archives.
-
- However, all but one of the 3 stuffit programs that I have D/L'ed have given
- an error while unzipping them (something about corrupted archive). They
- seem to work anyway, but I'm wondering what causes that error message. It
- appears that the first few bytes of every file is corrupted somehow and that
- may help to explain my next problem. :)
-
- One of the files is a SEA file, so I figured that since every other
- executable is a data-type APPL, I would set this to APPL and run it. Well,
- whenever I did that it crashed out of executor with a General Protection
- Fault. So, then I tried running a text file as APPL, just out of
- curiousity, and I found that it delivers an almost identical error message
- (as far as I can tell).
-
- So, my question is, how do you folx out there D/L files on the IBM said and
- get them into executor without corrupting them.
-
- BTW, I am using Executor 1.99m on a Compaq 486/66 if that helps at all. :)
