samba - Apr 2002 - Antw: Re: [Netatalk-devel] AFP_Resource files when copying files from NTFSvolumes viaexplorer

filesystem.

Hmmmm....

yes, of course those are the resource parts of the NTFS system.
But since we are a crossplatform company who has mac + w2k as clients
and linux + nt servers, we realy have this problem.
And we work on projects where both platform clients must be able to
copy/move files, no matter who created them.
(We don't care about the resource forks, since the crossplatform stuff
anyway doesn't have any real infos in there)
