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.
