The NSFileManager methods to copy and move files do preserve the
resource forks - I've used them myself for just this purpose quite
often, and have never lost a resource fork yet.

Sorry. I should have added a rider to that: without stripping resource
forks. I know of the NSFIleManager methods for copying and moving, but
they are one of a plethora of Cocoa methods that do this, it seems,
and that is what CpMac and MvMac are designed to prevent. Please
correct me if I'm wrong, because then I've missed something bigger.
Thanks,
Clark

I highly doubt that it would be legal to bundle those tools in your
app.
Fortunately, their functionality is pretty easy to duplicate. Just
make two command-line tools which take two paths as input and then
run -[NSFileManager movePath:toPath:handler:] or -[NSFileManager
copyPath:toPath:handler:] with the paths as arguments.

What's the legal aspect of this? Having analyzed the license
agreement,
this appears to be the relevant passage:
1. General. The software, tools, utilities, sample or example code,
documentation, fonts and other materials accompanying this License,
whether on disk, print or electronic documentation, in read only
memory, or any other media, (collectively, the Developer Software)
are licensed, not sold, to you by Apple Computer, Inc. (Apple)
and/or
Apples licensors. The rights granted herein are limited to Apple's
and/or Apples licensors respective intellectual property rights in
the Developer Software and do not include any other patents or
intellectual property rights. You own the media on which the
Developer
Software is recorded but Apple and/or Apple's licensor(s) retain
ownership of their respective portions of the Developer Software
itself. The terms of this License will govern any software upgrades
provided by Apple that replace and/or supplement the original
Developer
Software, unless such upgrade is accompanied by a separate license in
which case the terms of that license will govern.
"tools" presumably includes the /Developer/Tools directory? Failing
redistribution of the utilities, is there a way to programatically
duplicate their functionality?
Thanks,
Clark
