On Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger; and earlier versions as well, but I don't
know how frequently it was used), the OS can (and often will)
separate out the resource forks into a file with a '._' prefix (the
rest of the name being the same as that of the whole file, i.e. data
& resource fork as one file). You may want to research how Mac OS X
is doing that (if there's some routines that could be called from a
script or something).
Also, Netatalk (http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/; a *NIX/BSD
AppleTalk File Server) also does this (although, I believe that they
use a different naming scheme for the resource fork), so it's worth
checking as well.
