- Of course the resource fork is quite some more than what Amiga's .info
- files contain. Anyway, when sending Mac files in mail (uu- or MIMEencoded)
- the Mac (mail prg) sometimes adds the finder info in front of the file,
- which makes it quite hard to read the actual data part on other computers.
- HOWEVER, when saving Mac files to a PC floppy, data and resource forks
- are saved as two seperate files, and the finder info is saved in still
- a seperate file. This way, the data fork file should only contain the
- standard format MIDI file data. Just copy THAT file, and there should be
- no problem loading it on other platforms.
