The data fork holds the file contents, while the resource fork includes system information, such as the name of the application used to create the file. On a NeXT computer, a data fork appears with the same file name as on the AppleShare server, while resource forks appears as .filename.rsrc. For example, a file named Milestones that has both a data fork and a resource fork will appear on a NeXT computer as Milestones and .Milestones.rsrc". *********************************************************************** I have found that (under 3.0 PR2--I don't yet have the real release) the resource fork file (ending in .rsrc) is not shown in the file browser. However, you can copy it just fine from a terminal shell. -- NeXTmail preferred! -- --- root root@dtint.dtint.com Digital Technology Int.
