o Is there any plan to open source the SplitForks Dev Tools?
. The version in 10.2 is buggy. It does not split folder forks.
. The version in 10.4 might be buggy (The permissions looks wrong after
splitting a folder).
While it might not be really complex to write your own SplitFork tool,
fixing the Apple one could prove useful. And it might let people
distributing this tool independently.
(BTW: Is Apple really the company that created the AppleDouble File
Format? Because when you search for AppleDouble on the Apple Developer
web site, you do not find any documentation on the AppleDouble file
format and not a single link to a documentation. I know there's a RFC
about it but I've read better RFCs than this one).
o Is there any plan to open source the pax tool or provide a readable
(read: easy to understand) man page?
. Trying to figure out how to extract a file from a cpio-paxed archive
is not easy when you read the man page.
