I am pleased to report the release of version 1 final candidate 4 of hfspax,
still the only Mac OS X native archive tool that has full support for
resource forks, Finder info, OS X permissions, and the whole richness of OS
X files. It remains freeware (of course).
This release is compiled under, and tested for, OS X 10.1. The major bug fix
is an elusive but troubling one which could lead to failed restores when
paths started from the root (i.e. pathnames beginning with /). Documentation
has been augmented, with an email from a user describing how to use hfspax
to build rescue/restore volumes. Various minor irritations have also been
fixed.
You can find this latest release at

gz-binhez.hqx
(that should be one line, but Entourage breaks it up as ever)
(The Binhex download is 455 Kbytes)
If you have problems going direct to that, head for

and click on the hfspax1fc3.tar.gz file to download it.
