macosx tar - annoying ._* files

I noticed that tar generates files starting with ._* when creating an archive

$ tar cvzf jfa.tgz jfa

And the corresponding listing in archive

ashee-mac:shiva amitava$ tar tvf jfa.tgz 
drwxr-xr-x amitava/staff     0 2010-02-19 09:18:22 jfa/
-rw-r--r-- amitava/staff   187 2010-02-19 08:40:06 jfa/._.htaccess
-rw-r--r-- amitava/staff   616 2010-02-19 08:40:06 jfa/.htaccess
....
....

Notice how it adds "._.htaccess"

I found the solution here

Here's the command for convenience
$COPYFILE_DISABLE=true tar cvzf jfa.tgz jfa

COPYFILE_DISABLE=true (for Leopard)
COPY_EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES_DISABLE=true (for Tiger)

F# in macosx

I downloaded FSharp-1.9.7.8 and attempted to run it in MacOSX using mono (2.4.2.3).

mono $FS_HOME/bin/fsi.exe

This kept exiting the prompt after brief attempts to spawn a GUI. I found the solution here

Invoke fsi.exe without gui and with readline as indicated in the link above

mono fsi.exe --readline+ --gui-
