    You bad. :) You real bad. :)

    Still, it's always pissed me off whenever I tried to get sound files
    (for eg) off a mac onto my amiga (back when my amiga actually worked
    *sigh*). I always wound up getting the bits of the file that weren't
    sound...

    Annoying.

    Had to run resedit on it. I believe you folks are talking about doing
    something similar/the same.
