- : Maybe. Here's the deal: PC Exchange puts the data fork of the mac file
- : wherever you drag it on the PC disk, and creates a "resource.frk" folder
- : into which it puts all of the resource data. Executor uses an older--written
- : by Apple, damn them--standard which puts the resource fork in the same
- : directory as the data fork, but with a "%" prepended to the file name. What
- : you'd need to do would be to
- : 1) copy the files to a PC disk
- : 2) create a "resource.frk" directory
- : 3) move the %-files to that directory
- : 4) delete the %-sign
- : 5) make sure the two files have the same name in the dos 8.3
- : character name.
-
- : It might work.

- Playing around with the resources of Mac files on Linux,
- I've found that there seems to be a 512 byte header at the beginning
- of the Executor resource file that is not part of the resource.
-
- So, if you want the resources, you might want to strip
- the header with a programmer's editor, or under Linux, the 'dd' command.
- Try:
- dd if=%resource of=newresource bs=512 skip=1
- (I think this works)
-
- In developing the Maelstrom port to Linux, I created a
- C++ class that opens a Mac Resource file and reads it in. If you're
- interested, I can send you source. - email me!

- See ya!
