Mounting Windows Server 2003 & NT with 10.3
Authored by: henryhbk on Jun 05, '04 07:30:14AM
There are multiple applications you can run on the OS9 side, which put appropriate extensions on the files, before copying the files. Heck I wrote one for a client in 1996, and it took me a couple of days.

With a much friendler programming environment, do it in realbasic (or python, applescript...) and do it yourself. It simply walks the tree, gets the OS9 filetype data and looks up a table of file extensions (many exists like this here). Then you need a table of apple filetypes (such as here). Now you can move these files back to the SMB drive, as it will now be a properly extensioned file.
