My utility afile, which I've improved since I first announced it,
will report on various inconsistencies between data fork and AppleDouble
header as well as, or instead of, displaying the type/creator info. You
can now apply it to an AppleDouble header file as well as a data file.
It's available from
ftp://ftp.ncl.ac.uk/pub/users/ngmt/netatalk/afile.tgz
which also includes an rc script, acleandir, to "clean up" netatalk
directories. acleandir has various options to vary the amount of
"cleaning", delete files interactively etc.
