-- This is an AppleScript droplet that copies the files dropped on it
-- to the destination folder specified below without copying any of the extended attributes
-- This is useful when the destination folder is on a non-HFS volume
-- and the "._" files are not desired
-- The 'copy_without_xattr' script is available from http://hayne.net/MacDev/Perl
