Re: could anyone tell me internal structure of resource fork



From off-list discussion it appears that the OP is attempting to do some sort of obfuscation/encryption on an application.
My gut feeling is that, unless you are very versed in Mac OS programming, this is not the kind of thing you'll have much success with. There are a lot of gotchas that won't be obvious to someone who is just learning all this stuff for the first time.

I've seen many cross platform applications attempt to implement a resource manager like thing on Windows to read Mac OS files. Usually it happens when something is made on the mac first then ported to windows and they want to make sure the files are compatible (since NTFS does support multiple streams for resource fork "emulation" as well).

I can't help but wonder why you think you need this. Most applications never deal with list low level Resource Manager stuff.
