But does that work on a PC running Windows?  The docs say it doesn't.
That's my problem.  I'm copying the files from a CD (Mac/Windows hybrid) to
a PC hard drive.  Will this still work?

You'll need to break out the res file to a separate data file while on Mac, and recombine them while on Mac. No other operating system supports the dual-fork file format.


Simpler might be to just burn the CD as a hybrid, having the PC version access the files from the Mac partition.

What's in the res forks that needs to be retained? The resource fork is being phased out of Mac OS, so this may be a good time to consider other storage options if possible.
