Actually, what OS 8 and 9 does is add a resouce fork to EVERYTHING. GS/OS
has no problem with the files, but ProDOS 8 does. Any file you opened or
saved got a stupid resource fork added, making it unreadable in ProDOS 8.
It didn't corrupt files you didn't touch. Also, if you stripped off the
resource fork, the files would work again.
