I went a bit nuts trying to find a resource fork remover to run under OS X. I found a couple of oldies that would run under Classic, but they were not very reliable. I then remembered how UNIX is generally "HFS unfriendly." I went into a terminal Window and did a man cp, which very nicely told me a quick way to clean up a folder of HTML and pictures that were bound for the web. I then used the Terminal to cd my way to the folder above the folder containing the files, and then ran this command:
cp -p -R LobsterconOld LobsterconNewthe -p option tries to preserve as much of the date, time, and permissions as possible; the -R option is the usual "do recursion" flag ... and off it went doing 200+ files in five folders totalling 30 MB or so on a 700 MHz iBook in a few seconds. When I was done, I simply trashed the old folder once I was sure the result was OK (which it was).
