Well sorry, that's how you came across to me....

OK, how do you get those text files over to a GS without a resource fork
being attached?  When I just copy them over, they have a resource fork
and the P8 version of binscii won't touch it.

I for one like ProTYPE...it's easier to run.  I have never had a problem
when using ProTYPE and it's far more convenient.  I know everything has
the correct filetype.  I like having the correct filetype and so do most
programs.

Thinking about it, I'd also have to say that part of my response was from
reading Nathan's post.

Nathan, if you don't like the Macintosh, fine, don't like, but don't put
it down...it just makes you look like the twelve year old that everybody
seems to claim you are.  I for one, happen to be a Mac user that enjoys
both the Mac and my Apple II's...and would rather bang my head against
a brick wall that use Win95/NT and could absolutely care less about any
sort of a unix variant.
