I am also dreading
what happens when a user makes a "safe" tarball on a Tiger machine and
opens it on a Panther machine...
You will get the files split in AppleDouble format, that is if the file
"file" had a resource fork, it will be represented in the tarball as 2
files "file" (without resource fork) and "._file". Unpacking on Panther
or any other non-Tiger system will give you these 2 files. You can then run
/System/Library/CoreServices/FixupResourceForks dir
on any directory "dir" produced by the unpacking. This will give you
more or less the same result as unpacking on Tiger.
In both cases, the file creation dates on the files with resource forks
will be wrong: they will correspond to the unpacking/Fixup times, not to
the creation times of the original.
