Basic MAC OS-X Question

[Bondtrails]

Using the standard tar/zip/gzip tools in OS X or linux will *not* 
preserver the resource fork(s) of your files--I learned this the hard 
way :-(
Here is a workaround: make disk images (.dmg) and store your files on 
these images. Then you can safely zip the .dmg file on the server with 
all the resources intact.
