Okay, I stand corrected! I had read in a couple of places that they
were two files, but that the Finder made that transparent.

No, the various forks of a multi-fork file really are, in fact,
separate forks in a single file.
The reason only the data fork was copied to non-Mac networks is
that the network interface was written specifically to copy only
the data fork, under the assumption that foreign OSes wouldn't be
able to make any sense out of the resource fork anyway.
But both forks are still, both at the file system level and to the
classic OS, a single file.
