Hmmm. I didn't recall that. I happen to have MacResourceDog which can
inspect the resource fork, but it can only read, or decipher, a few of the
resources, mostly strings (like error messages) and icons. All it can show
of the plst resource is a lot of hex data. Is there another utility which
can read it as XML or text?
