Re: Where are my bytes hiding?

Extended attributes have been part of the Macintosh operating system in a few different forms since 1984. Up until Mac OS 9, the only alternative was a resource fork. In Mac OS 9, named forks were introduced, although only data and resource were practically available, and under the Mac's
