I think I solved my PICT2 problem, it had more to do with file
transfer methods than any error in my generated files. Thanks to the
one person who offered what help he could; you know who you are.

SU Mac ftp has a macbinary mode that will create the forks from an
incoming Macbinary file generated by utilities like mcvert. I got CRC
mismatch errors when I tried to receive files by ftp. When I zeroed
the CRC field, the transfer worked. This leads me to suspect that
either SU Mac ftp is following an old spec or it doesn't check the CRC
correctly. Is this a known bug? Should I tell the people who own the
Mac to get better networking software?

Thanks in advance, will summarize upon request and all that.
