I'd use ditto, which does preserve the resource fork.

It can do that but not by default, you must specify that

My understanding is that, as of Mac OS 10.4, --rsrc is the default

the --norsrc option).
Do tell! That's a trick isn't it.
Could be, Malcolm. :)
Going back to John's original message, I now see that he'd already
quoted from man ditto. My understanding was from the same source,
from when I last looked at ditto a short while back. I don't have
time to test right now, but will do later. Are you saying that the
man page is lying, then?
