type -37 error when transferring to ProDOS
Greetings everyone,
Recently, I have stumbled on IIe, a //e emulator for the Mac.
Having read FAQs for c.e.apple2 and c.s.apple2, I downloaded a few
BinSCII files for the //e, in order to create disc images for transfer to
the Mac.
I currently own two systems:
i) Apple //e, with amber monitor, 2 Disk IIs, 2 800K drives,
80-col. card with 1MB RAM, ThunderClock, Z-80 Softcard etc. and
ii) Mac LC III (see .sig) 12/700 with CD-ROM player (NEC CDR-500,
triple speed), SyQuest S3105 and standard keyboard+mouse.
When I set out to transfer the text files to a ProDOS 800K disc,
all except Shrinkit transferred without a problem. Indeed, I now have
Executioner and Binscii running on the //e, and have decoded all I could
transfer to ProDOS.
However, when I dragged the following files onto my ProDOS disc,
I got a type -37 error message, copy action being aborted:
shrinkit.3.3.exe.bsc from Umich,
shrinkit.iiplus.bsc from Umich,
shrinkit.v34.bsc from Uni Kaiserslautern (uni-kl.de) and
shrinkit2+.bsc from Kaiserslautern.
As with all other files I downloaded from Umich, Kaiserslautern
and elsewhere, I made sure before transfer that the line breaks were set
to Mac (CR only), and type and creator to "TEXT" and "pdos" respectively.
All other .bsc, .bsq and .exe files transferred without a hitch. Apart
from Executioner and Binscii, all now await un-Shrinking.
I tried disabling DOS File Exchange 2.0.5 and enabling ProDOS
File System 1.1 instead and re-booting, but the same problem persisted,
only with the Shrinkit files.
Can someone please give me a clue, how to solve this problem?
Replies please by e-mail -- unless you think mine is a frequent
problem, and a solution needs a follow-up :-).
Yours sincerely,
--
