How do you add file extensions to a bunch of files at once?
#24
Thanks once again everyone! Great stuff!!

I delivered the client's backup back to them today, but I'll have them email me a couple of those files to try your scripts on, Chakravartin. I doubt they still have type and creator codes anymore, but it's worth a try.

The weird thing was that within every folder of these old docs were both a "FINDER.DAT" file and a "RESOURCE_FRK" folder, which was full of what I assume were the actual resource forks of each document (they all had weird truncated names and showed up as "Unix executables" as well).

I seem to remember reading somewhere years ago that copying files to a drive that wasn't formatted correctly could end up stripping the resource forks out of the files, but I don't remember details...

Technology. Ugh...
