     I wouldn't know the specifics, but I'm sure they simply added code
to seek (and copy) the disk blocks containing the file resources.  ProDOS
itself won't handle forked files, but that doesn't preclude a specific
application from doing it.

    Just make sure you use the newer version of "Backup II" included with
the Apple High-Speed SCSI card.  (The older version will crash on GS/OS
resources.)
