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 networks: only the data fork file was copied and not the resource fork file as well.

They weren't two separate files
the issue was that often the data form came first, and contained a "end of file marker" so the resources would get dropped, But it was definitely all in one file.

But packages did start to appear on OS 9 (perhaps late OS 8) and those were groups of files that appeared to the user as though they were one file even though it might actually have been a folder full of files

As far as I know, there were no packages-views in OS 8. I wonder if the package concept in OS 9 was only for supporting Mac OS X._______________________________________________
