Hi,

We have got an issue that I can't find much help on out there so I was
wondering if anyone has come across this:
- OSX 10.3.8
- Illustrator X

Saving files to an NT4 share generally works. However, we have got a
number of files that were saved but have "0" bytes - from OS X and
Windows 2000 and the server. The files saved ok and it seems that only
EPS files are affected - tiffs are ok?

Any enlightenment would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Christoph

Hi Christoph, what happens if you save the eps without the ".eps"
just a thought.

Hi,

thanks for the reply - the trouble is that it happens sometimes, so we
could not consistently say that this is happening/not happening with the
.eps extension

I'm relatively new to Mac, but does this mean that there is no data in
the data fork, and that the file could have something in another fork?
How does NT handle this? In NTFS, if I'm not mistaken, the file size
you're mostly likely to see is the file size of the main stream (data
fork), but that doesn't mean that the main stream doesn't have to be 0,
and there be something else in the file.

Does anybody know how to test this??

Chris
