Cool. I'm willing to alter megatron to handle this. Could you send
me a couple of pieces of mail that have the uuencoded applesingle
files? Just a couple of small ones should be enough, like a small
document from word or such, and a small pd application or control
panel or such. A file that has both resource and data forks, as well
as a file that only has a resource and one that only has a data fork
would be the best possible combo. I have the spec for applesingle,
but it never hurts to have some real world instances.
'Bout time I did some useful coding again.
