We have a few aufs (Apple-Unix File Server) servers set up on Unix
machines.  They do everything they are supposed to, but we would like
to establish occasional access to their files via modem connection to
the unix host where the Mac files reside.  I know there is the Shiva
NetBridge designed to make your modem-connected Mac behave as though
it's on AppleTalk (only slower), but I'm talking about occasional use
only via the Unix host.

Since aufs stores the Mac files in parts (the data fork in the
directory whose name matches the folder, the resource fork in a hidden
subdirectory of it with the name ".resource", the info in a hidden
subdirectory called ".fileinfo"), I thought that maybe the encoding was
like that used with macput and macget.  I tried copying these three
files and giving them the names "File.info", "File.data", and
"File.rsrc", then converting them to MacBinary format with macbin.
The result (failure) suggests that the encoding is indeed NOT the same
as macput/macget.

Does anyone know a way to convert both ways between these file
segments as stored by aufs and the MacBinary (.bin, BinHex 5.0)
format?  If you have a lead, please respond by mail and I will
summarize for the news.
