Basically anything what cannot be stored in the data fork of a file is stored in
.AppleDouble Files: Mac-Resources, Mac-specific file-flags, etc.
WARNING: If you delete a programs resource fork the program is no longer useable! Even
some files will get destroyed with such a step (Macintosh Finder Clips for example).

Access to these files is also possible (user/group permissions, file and dir modes)?
