Although resource forks are a part of the HFS+ architecture, I thought the
recommendation was that resource forks are out, and should not be used any
more. Preference data should go into a plain text config file (data fork)
and in XML syntax to boot. Existing files can be examined (and new files
created) with the property list editor that comes with the development tools
CD or download. Under AS studio, even the binary stuff, dialog boxes, icons,
etc are going into the data forks.
