Re: Resource Fork



Hi folks, I'm about two weeks late in answering e-mail.  I have about
150 messages that require a response, but I hope to be finished late
tonight.

In neither case do I see exactly how you're copying the file to the
floppy.  What you need to do is make sure that Executor is aware that
you want the floppy ejected before you physically eject the disk.  You
can do this either by selecting the disk and then chosing "Eject" from
the "File" menu and then waiting for a message that says it's alright
to remove the floppy, or you can just totally quit Executor (you won't
get a message then).

If you still have problems after this, let me know.  This should work,
internally we use it frequently.
