All,
I hope some one can enlighten me quickly, otherwise I'll be
burning up my keyboard scripting in the next two weeks.
I'm migrating a PrePress environment from OS 9 to Tiger
(10.4.8).
One of the 'opportunities' I'm confronting is how the finder is not
recognizing files of the OS 9 genre (dual-forked) without a suffix.
I've
got gigs upon gigs of files that are in this format that the PrePress
folks will have to access for years to come. I think I'm looking for a
quick and easy way to convert these files from dual-forked to data only
files on the fly. These files are mixed containing some multiple file
types, such as PDF, tiff, eps, psd, txt, etc. , unfortunately, Finder
sees
them all as unix executables because they don't have suffixes, or at
least, most don't.
I can probably write something that looks at each file and
algorithmically determines what suffix should go with it, and just
rename
the file, but that could be a bit of a bear, but if that's what I'm
relegated to doing, sobeit..... but, thought someone on this list might
know of something that's much more efficient and more precise than
anything I might come up with. Any brilliant ideas?

I tested Flightcheck demo from Markzware.
If I recall correctly, this was one of the things it did best.
