Two questions related to a mystery

1. Is there a way to extract the ressource part of a file (the ._filename file) from a pax archive without having it be transformed into a Resource Fork?

I'm using the following call: sudo pax -r -pe -f Archive.pax ./._filename.

My fear is that this is Filesystem related and that even logging into >console would not do any good.

2. Is there some magic incantation to have resource fork being merged back to data fork when you want to do the following thing:

Install "fileA" into /Applications/Test/ with:

- "fileA" having a Data Fork and a Resource Fork

- /Application/Test being set as the Default Installation path and Test does not exist yet.

That is the bom file looks like this:

.
  ._fileA
  fileA

If I try to do this with PackageMaker, it works fine.

If I try to do this with a Script involving /Developer/Tools/SplitForks, it does not work.

When analysing the bom, only a difference with the checksum of ._fileA can be seen (this is the reason for question 1).
