Re: how do I delete file comments?



Re: problems in copying a file with an extended resource fork.

Well, if you used Copy II+, you should have solved the problem.  If I remember
correctly, Copy II+ does a number of things in ways against the rules, and one
of them causes it to completely ignore the resource fork of files, so using
Copy II+ should have stripped the resource fork (with the comment in) off the
file.

Notice I don't say that this is a *good* way to get rid of the resource fork,
so if you later have problems with the file, this may have something to do
with it...

It's a good idea to make sure that you only use Copy II+ on files that *don't*
have resource forks, for this very reason...  I tend to be quite sparing in my
use of Copy II+ these days, though it was really an outstanding piece of work
when it first came out; Central Point just didn't keep up with the Apple II
market unfortunately...
