Nice to know, thanks.  Any chance you would be willing to explore  
a .directory that holds these attributes as a preference, that would  
also store those on remote machines that do not support extended  
attributes?

Expandrive was and is far too broken for me to be able to use it on a

Ok, baring you being willing to look at storing extended attr data  
such as this somehow in a hidden and transparent way, I will look at  
talk to ftp app makers to see what they can do.

Thanks Allan.
