MacBinary is one of the formats that shoves the resource and data forks
into a single file. Macs have this concept and Resource forks are used
for various metadata like the icon and stuff.
Stuffit Expander is the tool on Mac and Windows to get at it. I seem to
recall that there are tools for linux.
apt-cache search macbinary
