Actually, there have been updates to prodos 8 cat.doctor so that this prodos
8 program CAN handle extended files from Prodos 8.  No, I dont  know what
he did.  There have been other such updates being made over the last few
months.

Obviously someone running prodos 8 has the potential of running into 
these files - what happens when you download a .bny/.shk and find that
it contains one of the buggers?

Note - if you are the author of any prodos disk manipulation type program
such as listing files, catalogs, shrinking files, etc you should be
prepared to adequately handle said files.  I tried to copy a disk recently
which contained one of these forked files.  I was using System Disk 4.0
and its copy mechanism - it said "no way!"...
