Too cryptic for me. I'll pass.
But, at least we can all rest assured that when moving a file from a Mac to
Windows, one can ditch any (all) "dot files" that mean nothing to the
Windows environment -- i.e., all of them.
This is precisely what I thought originally, and that's what your write-up
confirms.
Thanks.
