Re: Off Topic?: File format "AppleSingle"

[Alan Davis <adavis@saipan.com>]

Thank you Mark.  I have now gotten one step closer to using the file.

I cannot thank you and a large number of other Debian people enough.  SInce I begin using Debian about 6-7 years ago, I have seldom run into a question, issue, or problem that wasn't answered within hours.  

I shyly waited for many months before breaking down and contacting the list.  I searched in vain many times, and tried many things to open that file.  Now, in hours, the answer is in hand.

Thank you again.

GNU/Linux rocks.

Alan

Thank you

hypothesis, however much beloved -- and I cannot resist forming one 
on every subject -- as soon as facts are shown to be opposed to it.
