I have the ZIP command working now with all switches performing as
expected. This is the command I am using, stripped down to the bare
essentials:
zip -g -r -v
/Volumes/programbkup/John/Mac/20070627/FridayBackup_20070627.zip
/source\ code/Applescript*
Here I am attempting to back up all compiled script files as well as
several auxiliary files as well (mostly test files to run the scripts
against--a mixture of text and INDD files).
When I inspect the archive created I find that all compiled scripts have
been zeroed out. Just to be thorough I extracted the files and looked
at the compiled script files, and they were all 1k files. These files
are usually much, much larger than 1k.
Do I need to use a special switch to save compiled scripts? Are there
issues with the resource fork that I should consider?
