er, oops. i only read your warning about that like 5 times. i actually
cut & pasted that from the directory name it untarred as. perhaps if you
named the directory pre-asun2.1.4 it might help to further alleviate
confusion. sorry - please don't hurt me.

I think this sounds like a good idea. The .AppleDouble files only contain
the resource fork, correct? If this is true, it should be much less of a
risk as far as data loss because none of the files have a resource fork
that matters. (.html, .jpeg, .gif)
So, sure, I'll go for it. Hopefully I'll even be able to provide some
useful feedback on it.
Thanks Adrian :)
