To put the boot into a common enemy; Microsoft only merged PC and Mac file
formats in Word 6.0 (which in itself was such a dog on the Mac it made
Claris works a contender). I have a sneaking suspicion that MS Word for Mac
5.x used the resource fork for storing images and other "not data"
resources.
