May be all we need, then.

I'll dig out the mail and the stuff I pasted into the boot-floppies
makefile
for that. Basically, it's just unpacking the Mac files so the resource
fork, data fork and finder info are kept separate. The guy who wrote the
basic description for that used AppleDouble format, and told us the
switches for
mkhybrid to make that work. I assume any other way of extracting these
files will work if the mkhybrid flags match. 

I'll dig out the stuff later; have to start an experiment first.
