I >have called Apple Computer, Inc. and told them this problem. The >representative told me that the creator signature is somehow lost. [...] Here is how I handle this situation. Within Executor, I run Compact Pro and create and save an empty archive file called sample.cpt. I quit Executor and copy the file %sample.cpt (i.e. the resource fork) to a file called %cpt.header. Whenever I have a Compact pro archive which I've obtained in some manner which led to the loss of the resource fork (which contains the creator and other info), I copy the %cpt.header file over. For example, if I have CoolDemo.cpt, I copy %cpt.header to %CoolDemo.cpt. After that, Compact pro is happy to load the file. Naturally, the same thing can be done with archives from Stuffit or other programs. --Bill
