.file extension AD - AppleDouble encoded file
.ADFile extension AD description:
AppleDouble leaves the data fork in its original format, allowing it to be edited by normal Unix utilities. The resource fork and Finder information, both propietary and lacking editors under Unix, were combined into a second file.
The AppleDouble format should be the primary format when
sending a Macintosh document. It makes it possible for a user
that can't decode the AppleDouble header to read and use the
Data fork of the document. It also keep the Macintosh
specific information in the AppleDouble header, so a user who
can decode the AppleDouble header can get the extra in
formation, such as customised icons, which is not essential
to the document itself.
