Well, this isn't totally true. I wrote myself an 8 bit program that reads the
data fork out of an extended file and writes it into a standard file. It's
really handy for converting Teach files into regular text files. And since
the Mac ProDOS file system extension writes all files as forked typeless files,
it's handy for making those files useful too.
