A few other things:

1. The Mac file handling has a problem with file names that are too long.  
If you have Mac files nested a few folders deep you may find that you  
can't access the files.

2. When you copy a Mac file to a NeXT filesystem using the file viewer,  
you are only copying the data fork. The resource fork will be ignored.

3. If you want to copy or access the Mac resource fork, you must do it  
from the command-line. It appears as a second file and isn't displayed by  
doing a wildcard ls. For a give file named "bob", "bob" is the data fork  
and "bob.#rsrc#" is the resource fork.
