SUMMARY
Resource forks are implemented as NTFS streams named AFP_Resource. There is
no structure to the fork; it is exactly whatever the Macintosh writes to
it. The resource fork can be written to using standard Win32 application
programming interfaces (APIs). Refer to the forks as
<FileName>:AFP_Resource.
