I am working on an application that needs to take a Mac file and convert it into an AppleDouble email attachment. As I understand it, AppleDouble takes the resource fork, splits it off and base64 encodes it. How would I go about getting the entire resource fork into a format that I can then base64 encode?

Also - looking at an attachment that I sent myself with Apple Mail, I see x-mac-type, x-unix-mode, and x-mac-creator headers for the datafork portion of the email. Obviously, the x-mac-type and x-mac- creator are somehow encoded type and creator codes, and the unix-mode is simply the file permissions. Does anyone know how Apple is encoding these type and creator codes?
