For example CodeWarrior and BBEdit save information about the current selection, scroll position and window size in the resource fork of text files. Simply opening and closing a file can cause a resource fork to be added. Some Mac graphic editors store custom icons and previews in the resource fork. The CVS clients I use on the Mac allow you to specify which file types/file extensions need to have both the data and resource fork saved and typically default all other files to just the data fork.
