hmm.  A/UX does something like:
	foo		data fork
	%foo		resource fork

and i dunno what for the finder info...

it'd probably be a good idea to follow the A/UX convention --
it's a unix on the mac and i for one would like to see
the mac port of NetBSD be as A/UX compatible in terms of things
like *that* as possible...  (but no, i don't want NetBSD to become
svr2...  *chuckle*  8-)
