Can someone tell me the difference between files stored as Apple-Single verses Apple-Double format? As far as I understand Apple-Double format stores the resource fork and data forks in separate files, Apple-Single stores the two forks in a single file. Is it possible to convert from Apple-Double to Apple-Single by concatenating the files together? In which order? How about going from Apple-Double to Apple-Single? Brad -- Bradley D.

In which order? How about > going from Apple-Double to Apple-Single? Yes, it is possible to covert from AS to AD and vice versa. I have used a utility from StarNine Technologies to do this. AppleSingle and AppleDouble formats are defined in the document "Formats for Apple files in foreign file systems" which is published by Apple.
