MacBinary
<file format> An eight-bit wide representation of the data and
resource forks of an
Macintosh file and of relevant Finder information.
MacBinary files are recognised as "special" by several MacIntosh
terminal emulators.
These emulators, using
Kermit or
XMODEM or any other file transfer protocol, can separate the incoming file into
forks and appropriately modify the Desktop to display
icons, types, creation dates, and the like.
