.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I cvt2apple
|
|
converts CAP AUFS format files to
|
|
Apple-Single or Apple-Double format files suitable
|
|
for launching by the A/UX
|
|
.I launch
|
|
program.
|
|
.I cvt2cap
|
|
converts Apple single and/or Apple-Double files to CAP AUFS format files.
|
|
.PP
|
|
A CAP AUFS file consists of three parts: the data fork, which is
|
|
the file which has same name as the whole CAP file; the resource fork
|
|
which is a file with the same name as the data fork but located
|
|
in a subdirectory called ".resource" of the directory in which the
|
|
data fork is located; and the finder information, located in a subdirectory
|
|
called ".finderinfo".
|
|
.PP
|
|
An Apple-Single format file contains all this information in a single file
|
|
using a standard format (see the A/UX Release Notes 1.0 page 5-2).
|
|
An Apple-Double
|
|
format file is similar to an Apple-Single file except that it consists
|
|
of two separate parts: the data fork is
|
|
stored with the base name; and the resource/finder part is stored in
|
|
a file with the base name prefixed by the '%' character.
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I cvt2apple
|
|
by default makes Apple-Single format files.
|
|
If the
|
|
.I \-d
|
|
option is specified then an Apple-Double format file is created. This should
|
|
normally be used for data files or for applications that write to their
|
|
data forks.
|
|
.PP
|
|
To copy a Macintosh file so it can be used under A/UX, first mount an AUFS
|
|
volume from the destination A/UX system on the source Macintosh;
|
|
next drag the application you want to run into that filesystem;
|
|
and finally, on the destination A/UX machine run
|
|
.I cvt2apple
|
|
to convert the CAP file to a launchable Apple format file.
|
|
.SH NOTES
|
|
.I cvt2apple
|
|
does not create Icon, real-name, or file-info records in Apple format
|
|
files.
|
|
As most Mac files contain their own icon information, this
|
|
is probably not a problem.
