Um, why not tar the files on the Sun, ftp the tar'd file, and use
Stuffit Expander to expand it? (Don't know if the free Expander will do
that, but registering the DropStuff component is very cheap). This will
minimize the opportunity for any apps to try to be "smart" about setting
file types/creators...

From a Sun you shouldn't need to do any CR/LF conversion, IIRC, and
Stuffit should just unpack the .pro files as flat documents or with the
correct creator/type.

I've never found explicitly setting mapping in File Exchange to be
necessary. Try taking that entry out, if its still in there.

If you still get .pro's showing up as applications, something may be
amiss with your Finder database. Try running TechTool Lite to check it.
