The AppleSingle/AppleDouble file format specification was originally designed to facilitate storage of Macintosh files on A/UX. It has been generalized to allow storage across a variety of platforms. More information on this file format is contained in Chapter 6 of the A/UX 2.0 manual, A/UX Toolbox: Macintosh ROM Interface. It is also available as a separate document titled "AppleSingle/AppleDouble Formats for Foreign Files Developer's Note." This document is available in printed form from APDA, and in electronic form on the Developer CD Series disc and on AppleLink in the Developer Support folder.
