(Geez, how embarrasing...) Well, I found the "solution" to my question right here in this very news group, in postings dating a few weeks back. Someone indicated that the Finder type and creator should be 'BIN ' and 'A/UX', respectively. I tried it, copied from Mac to UFS file systems, and my ".tar.Z" files appear to be in order. I still haven't found any information to indicate just exactly WHAT translations take place when coping files between the two files systems, under what circumstances. Anybody know?
