For distribution, you can use something like dropstuff to convert to
hqx or bin, there are also MacBinary II tools you can use for this.
Also putting the stuff inside a dmg should do the trick. Even in
panther, there is an archive function, which if I remember correctly
you can use to compress files. It puts the resource fork image in a
separate folder called .resource_fork (I dont remember exactly). On a
pc you could see this folder and files within, on the Mac i think it
sees the folder and reconstructs the files accordingly.
If this is a document that will be read by the equivalent application
on other systems, i would recommend making the file structure of the
file such that you do not use the resource fork.

Hello,
Some Mac files contain a resource fork. The question I have is: how
can I "flatten" the resource fork (resource fork-within-data fork) so
that I can move the file to other systems? Are there any facilities in
Mac OS X that will allow me to do this? I would also need to do the
opposite when reconstructing the file again on the Mac side.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
