The original spec calls for using # the nulls in 0, 74, and 82 as the magic number. # # Another possibility, that would also work for MacBinary I, is to use # the assumption that 65-72 will all be ASCII (0x20-0x7F), that 73 will # have bits 1 (changed), 2 (busy), 3 (bozo), and 6 (invisible) unset, # and that 74 will be 0.
