[Boston.pm] OS-X and apple filesystem mapping ?
Dear Mongrels ;-) I recall one of the Perl Mongers (perhaps Uri?) mentioning an article on how the apple designers had to bend over backwards to implement the mac's filesystem conventions on a UNIX filesystem. As I recently noted the swamp of dot-something files that OS-X hides on my zip disks, I would be interested in being pointed to such article so that I can at least know what that swamp of files is for. -Federico _ -- "'Problem' is a bleak word for challenge" - Richard Fish Muad'Dib of Caladan (Federico L.
