I need [someone?] to merge OS X AppleDoubles for OS 9...
Posted: Tue Aug 09, 2011 5:05 pm
I'm trying to get a bunch of zip files created in OS X (namely Glider PRO's More Houses 1 and 2) over into a SheepShaver OS 9 installation with resource forks fixed back on.
HFVExplorer claims to "detect" AppleDoubles, but it doesn't touch __MACOSX folders, nor detect anything if I slap the doubles next to their original files a la the Wikipedia article. Raw copy for data and resource fork looked interesting, but that just happens to overwrite the file entirely.
Google's led me to a mythical ZIP-JOINER that I can't find a link for, and SheepShaver (or OS 9?) doesn't seem to honor AFS_RESOURCE ADSes when mounting NTFS drives.
It would be nice if there *is* a way of merging the two forks in Windows, but at this point I'm pretty much run raw and I'd like to see if there's anyone out there with OS X that can unzip these files, make sure the AppleDouble folder gets merged back in, and reSIT it for OS9 - it's giving up, yes, but I couldn't care less at this point.
A thanks in advance if it's possible - the last few hours were the antithesis of fun for me.
