Maybe I'm missing something but I don't understand want the CRC adds. The
header block will be verified by the protocal used, thus no internal CRC is
needed. The intent when using MacBinary is that all files are either MacBinary
or Text. This assumption fails if you are attempting to move a non-Mac binary
file (which I would consider to be an "expert" requirement). In that case,
terminal programs should allow the user to turn off MacBinary translation.
I agree about date stamping and would like to have it included. I just
currently see no way to "set" the date of a file. Maybe someone who knows more
about AmigaDos can reveal how to do this. It would make sense to allocate 12
bytes starting at offset 91 to correspond to the AmigaDos structure DateStamp.
Am I missing anything else? Bill Bond
