Bill, I assume you've read the ABTF doc. How about the CRC integrity check I proposed? It does away with the user having to determine whether he would want AmigaBinary "turned on or off." This seems to me to be the weakest part of the MacBinary standard, especially for novices. You should also probably reserve a space for the time/date, even if the method for getting/setting it isn't feasible yet. This would save hacker-supplied kludges at a later date.
