Mac fork stipper program MIA (needed for A2s)

[nathan@visi.com (Nathan Mates)]

Ok, except for a very few extremely lucky types, Macs *do* have a
problem with adding a resource fork to a download, making it
unreadable by ProDOS 8 programs. Several months ago, a program was
found that could remove the resource fork from the mac side, which
the following URL:

ftp://mirrors.aol.com/mir02/INFOMAC/info-mac/disk/file-stripper-utilities.hqx

   Someone reported via email to me just now that that program has
disappeared. I checked the ftp site above, and two infomac mirrors
(umich.edu and grind), and the file is most definitely not there, and
nothing readily apparent as a renaming catches my eye.

   Anyone want to help every Mac user who suffers thru the quirks of
the Macs with a replacement util?
