- greggman3 6y agoNo, they aren't and there are good reasons OS-X ditched them from MacOS 9 The biggest problem was passing files across the net via other systems (unix, windows). Pass .JPG, windows and linux just want the .JPG but mac needed this extra info or it didn't understand the file making all files from Macs incompatible with the rest of the world and visa-vera It was a nightmare
