------------------
Thanks Jeffrey. That works. The problem is, there are almost 900 files to 
be dealt with. !

Do you (or does anyone else) know a good way to do this automatically, like 
with a script? The Mac group here has suggested that it can be done from a 
Unix prompt, but this has to be done on the old machine. Or, could I mount 
this old drive from an OS X box and remotely run a Unix script on it?

Thanks again,
Laura
