A question that often comes up when archiving Macintosh image files to CD-ROMs so that they can be read by either DOS or Mac computers is "What happens to the Mac resource fork of the image file?"

PC Exchange, which is built into System 7.x, creates a hidden resource fork directory on PC disks that have Mac files on them, along with additional Finder info files which contain information about file type and creator, icons, position of icons in windows, etc, Although these additional files are marked as hidden, they can be read and presumably copied by Windows '95 directly.
