***********************************************************************
"/NextLibrary/Documentation/NextAdmin/MixedNet.rtfd" says the following:

"Apple files are made up of a data fork, a resource fork, or both. 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.
