- You remember wrong. Attempting to copy a file with a resource fork
- using Copy II+ 8.4 and earlier will result in a completely unusable
- destination file. It treats the extended key block as an index
- block, and usually ends up copying a random collection of blocks from
- the file and elsewhere on the disk.
-
- Version 9.0 and 9.1 report an error if you try to copy a file with a
- resource fork.
