    Automator Puzzle: How Do I Extract Certain Files (specified In A List) From A Large Repository?

Like: $ cd source; find . \( -name '*xyz*' -o -name '*abc*' \) -print0|cpio -0adpm target (I did not try that, but is should work. You might have to use absolute directory...

    transfer files to HD so they can be read in Windows 7..

    OS X supports Windows' exFAT filesystem. But you have to format the disk on Windows machine (or virtual machine on MAC). The filesystem supports 16 exabyte size files and disk size is 64 zetabytes. OK, they both mean: enough. I have used on some USB disk and it worked fine.

    tar write error

    Maximum FAT file size is 2GB, so I guess your problem is with the file system. Format the disk to exfat on Windows XP (or 7 or 8). OS X supports exfat, which allows much larger files (127 PB vs 2GB).

    Raid is way to make virtual disk, for example Raid-0 is two disks that act as one bigger and faster disk. So to answer your question: you first make the raid, then use it as a disk (partition, format, put data).

    Screwed up Terminal (and/or XCode) in attempt to setup Dev Environment

    It seems you are missing /usr/bin from your PATH: Since sudo is "/usr/bin/sudo"; I guess it is no good.

    Opening MPEG/VCD/PAL files on Mac

    The file name (http://www.nameofcompany.com/files/g...PAL.part01.rar) implies, that it is only first of splitted rar archive. You have to have all the files in the same place, so that you can unarchive the files. You might also like to check VLC or MPlayer for the video files.
