A/UX 2.0 Users,
I'm having a problem transfering UNIX files which I downloaded to a A/UX
partition. The files exists on a Mac OS disk and each time I try to move it
to my A/UX partition a header gets inserted at the beginning of the file.
I tried to changing the creator and filetype to "BIN" but this didn't work.
The below header was still inserted and looks as if Mac OS resource info
was place in front of original compressed file. The header looks like
this: (od -ch filename) was used to generate the below binary dump.

The magic number for a compressed file is 1f9d 9001 a000 (I'm guessing)
so everything before this should not be there for "uncompress" to be able to
see
it correctly.
What am I doing wrong ?
