    WTF is this?

    Just copying a load of files from an NT4 box to a Win2K box and got this message:

        It's a real OS. It keeps information about files separate from the actual file. At least it isn't a Mac where there's no way to SEE that data, or even know that it's there, until such time as it gets corrupted - which is 500% more likely, since it's a multi-forked file.

        I'm the least you could do
        If only life were as easy as you
        I'm the least you could do, oh yeah
        If only life were as easy as you
        I would still get screwed

              The Mac FS supports multi-forked files now? I thought traditionally that they were a single fork. When did this change (its been ages since I worked on a Mac)?

                You only got a resource fork and a data fork.
                Main: Dual Xeon LV2.4Ghz@3.1Ghz | 3X21" | NVidia 6800 | 2Gb DDR | SCSI
                Second: Dual PIII 1GHz | 21" Monitor | G200MMS + Quadro 2 Pro | 512MB ECC SDRAM | SCSI
                Third: Apple G4 450Mhz | 21" Monitor | Radeon 8500 | 1,5Gb SDRAM | SCSI

                  That's historically been the case but Gurm seems to be implying more than two branches. I probably just mis-interpreted his use of the term multi-fork.
