> All part of the Unix half of OS X not groking resource forks. :(
Actually, the UNIX half handles resource forks reasonably well.
open("filename/rsrc", mode) does the job.
The problem is that the resource fork has the same inode number as
the original file, which freaks out rsync, and you have to hack
things to get it to try that weird file-as-directory trick. I wish
they'd just make the damn things visible.
What UNIX has no handle on at all is finder info. They could make
the finder info show up the same way, which would be halfway there,
or go all the way with ".rsrc" and ".info". But no....
