The WPS is your file manager when you do drag and drop operations. The
EAs are on the file on your hard disk, so the WPS preserves them when you
copy them to the card. Since the card is FAT formatted, the FAT IFS
creates EA DATA. SF to hold the EAs.

What you can do is create a desktop object to run eautil with the
parameters:

%* nul /s

Dropping a file object on this object will delete its EAs. You can check
your work with the dir command. The 2nd number is the EA size and will be
0 if there are no EAs.

HTH,

Steven
