I think using "quoted form of " negates the need for quotes and eliminates the
potential for smart quotes screwing things up

G’day Paul & Ed

Thank you for the suggestions to both, but especially for the code, Ed.

My altered-as-per-script .dmg, which I then compress, does NOT auto mount on
decompression!

Paul, I’ve read the man pages, but I noticed your footnote about smart quotes.
Not sure what that means? Is my altered-from-Eds code OK please?

Regards

Santa

You may need to include a path to the archive. Also, since the file name must
be quoted (contains a blank) beware not to use smart quotes or apostrophes. Use
an ASCII apostrophe.
