Re: How do I delete file comments?



Jawaid (you know who) suggested the following to make an extended file P8
compatible:

>SetEOF(0) on the resource fork.

Sorry, but while that may actually clear the resource fork contents, the
file's storage type will remain extended (type 5) which is what P8 chokes
on in the first place.  Jawaid's second suggestion is better:

>Copy the data fork to a new file, delete the old one, rename the new
>one to be the same as the original.

There are two ways to write bug-free code and only the third one works!
