We want to put up multimedia files which were created with Macromind's
Director package. They have been saved as Player files, ie they are
self contained and do not need Director to be present on the client Mac
to run. I put up both .bin MacBinary files and .hqx files but
cannot retrieve either successfully with Mac Mosaic 1.0.1. A document is
created on the desktop if I specify "load to disk" and click on the MacBinary
version, but the document has no appropriate resource fork and merely asks me
if I want to open it with TeachText. Clicking on the .hqx file displays it
as ASCII text, and if I specify "load to disk" saves it as ASCII and again
asks me if I want to open TeachText on it.
Is there something specific that I need to be doing either to the server
or the Mac Mosaic client to get this to work? I am a little unclear even
after reading the online docs as to whether I need to explicitly create some
mapping in one of the .conf files between ".bin" and "Mac Binary"-- I made
sure it was in the client's profile, but perhaps the server needs to tell the
client as well?
Thanks for any assistance,
