Easily create HFS-aware PKZIP and unix archives
Authored by: gshenaut on Nov 26, '03 09:27:23PM

EPS is not a good example since EPS files contain a %%Creator header line
that identifies the program that created it, which is just one example of how
the material placed into resource forks can be handled painlessly without
them.

Creator and Type codes have NOTHING to do with rsrc fork

At the risk of sounding repetitive, even though some people are glad to have creator and type codes for files, they have NOTHING to do with resource forks. It is a file attribute stored in the HFS+ file catalog, something like the creation date.
