Hmm, interesting.
In tiger, there is no xatr command, so apparently it's a recent
eddition. I'll check on the laptop and see what it says.
Regardless, there still needs to be a way to obtain this information,
regardless of os version, since it's been there from the beginning. :)
Will let the list know what (if anything) I come up with on this.

OK what I know:
This is kept in the extended attributes of the file. You know the
dot underline files that show up on FAT file systems...
The command xatr -d com.apple.quaritine Filename
will remove the warning you get about a file coming from the internet.
There is not a man page for xattr that I could find, but the -h
option does let you know the arguments available.
Will you share your adventures?
Thanks,
Jonathan

Actually, the meta information for the files contains the
information about where the file came from. I haven't a clue how
to get at it via applescript, I don't recall anything about that
when I read the applescript programming guide, but I'm sure
there's a unix script or something somewhere that can get at the
info.
I'll do some experimenting, and see if I can turn up anything.
I know it's there, because finder likes to remind me that a
particular file came from a certain location, and that I should be
aware of malicious files, and do I really want to run this program.
Now, how to get that info into something unix or apple scripts can
use is of course a different story. :)
