Well, technically under HFS+ you can access a resource fork for a
file with the name "filename" by using:
filename/..namedfork/rsrc
the data fork would be at:
filename/..namedfork/data
Very nice. I was able to use this to copy a resource fork (not a
single resource) to data using "do shell script" and cat.

And, yeah, it's just the raw data. I figured he might have a way of
parsing it out. I know it can be done, but I don't know the format
exactly and couldn't be bothered to figure it out! :-)
I seem to remember that the original writer was interested in FOND
resources. One way to extract an individual resource would be to use
the DeRez application (either in MPW -- you can put any MPW commands
into an AppleScript -- or in /Developer/Tools.) I was hoping to
format the data using the MPW version of derez in conjunction with
the Fonts.r Rez Includes file, but for some reason derez wouldn't
utilize this file: it kept spitting out the (minimally) formatted hex
version of my FOND resources. You might have to use Fonts.r to
analyze your FOND by hand (ugh!) Maybe Chris has an idea why derez
wouldn't apply Fonts.r.
