I think you are missing it a bit. The data fork and resource fork
under Classic were in reality two separate files, which is why there
was often a problem with resources transferring files from non-Mac

fork file as well.
My point was in classic OS two files were represented as a single
unified file.
No, not always they weren't
Up to about OS 8 or so they were a single file but packages also
existed on OS 9 and that was a group of files that a user saw as a
single file even though it was a folder of files, and you could
have different types and creators on them
