DOS and Windows don't care about the extra directory, which contains
the resource fork of your Mac files. In some situations, you might
want to convert your Mac file to MacBinary format, a way of wrapping
the data fork and resource fork into a single file (in the DOS sense)
for preservation or transmission.
