The interesting thing about this whole discussion is that
AFS on NT Server does nothing to handle the situation
of a PC moving a Mac file that has a resource fork.

I remember a couple of years ago, when we were using System 7 
sounds for a bunch of content development, the creative guys 
would come to  me saying their sound files were suddenly of 
size 0 bytes.

Turns out the Mac guys would put the files on the server,
then one of the creative types working on a PC would move
them to a different drive or just move them around and poof,
gone was the resource fork - THE important part of a System 7
sound file.

We pretty much trained the Mac side not to put anything with
a resource fork onto the NT server, except for a volume set
up exclusively for that purpose.  And the PC people were prevented
from moving things found in that "Mac Only" folder.
