That is strange.  I'm pretty sure the current version of BINSCII didn't
support extended files (files with resource forks) but I think there was
a draft of a version that did that wasn't put into use.  If the original
BINSCII file did contain a GScii archive that had a resource fork (a
comment perhaps) then the ProDOS 8 BSCit wouldn't be able to deal with
it correctly whereas the GS/OS based GScii would be able to.

Other than that, the only thing I could think of would be a bug in BSCit
that was messing up the output file.
