In reading the above, I see:
"It is easy to corrupt Apple II programs with a MacOS resource fork.
Without the fork, Apple II files tend to tear up your MacOS hard drive
or otherwise cause Norton Utilities and Apple Disk First Aid to
register all kinds of funny errors that they want you to fix. Don't
allow any MacOS utilities to work on any Apple II programs. This will
destroy them. You should run these utilities after you do any
conversion as explained in "How to get software off the Internet to run
in a real Apple II". You may find that Norton has some work to do.
Don't worry too much about anything held in OS X. OS X is much more
robust. The safest way to store Apple II programs in any MacOS
environment is in disk image format."
This seems to imply that my Netatalk shares are not the best place to
store Apple II executables? Can anyone comment?
Thanks,
