*Now* I feel like we're getting somewhere!
The TYPE command you suggested does indeed show the Mac filename.
Unfortunately, my colleague on the other end of the line (using a term
program called Quick Link II) can't find any options that allow him to
turn MacBinary off *and* see (and, therefore, select for transfer)
anything other than non-MacBinary files.
I'm not sure that made sense, so let me try again: In Quick Link II's
File menu, he selects Send File. That opens a dialog box from which he
selects the file he wishes to send. It also contains a check box or radio
button or something labelled "MacBinary." When that box is checked, all
the files, including the graphics files, appear in the file list and can
be selected. When the MacBinary box is *not* checked the only filename
that appears in the list is that of an ASCII file he created. There
doesn't appear to be any option that takes MacBinary files and sends them
without the resource stuff.
And we can't seem to find an option in PhotoShop to allow us to create
non-MacBinary files.
Jerry Thompson mentioned a utility to strip that strips that resource
stuff from a file, but I can't find anything in the libraries.
FWIW, I sent one of the files my associate sent to me back to him and he
had no trouble loading it into PhotoShop, so the transfer itself seems to
be working properly.
