It's actually HFS, the "Mac" disk system, that uses the fork system. MacOS 
is just adapted to take advantage of it. (the "translator")

OSX adapts itself to it also, so no, OSX does "use" a two-fork system. 
Otherwise upward compatibility would be impossible.

This is a good example of standard formats only being as good as the 
programs and manufacturers that adopt them, and also what they do with them.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
