All files in the MacOS file systems comprise two (possibly empty) parts: (1) a data fork and (2) a resource fork. The data fork may comprise any data or text in any format whatsoever, the resource fork is a highly stylized database of various data types. Most of what you think of as a file comes from the data fork, but apple files need to be moved from place to place in their entirety. One encoding of this schizophrenic file structure is called AppleDouble.
