Any other tips for reconstructing a file from separate data/resource

utility that will do the trick but it doesn't seem to be available
for OS X, at least not via fink or macports.
(I've got some old ZIP discs formatted for PC and written from OS 9;
I was apalled to find out that OS X doesn't understand OS 9's way of
splitting forks on FAT filesystems. So I'm going through and
matching RESOURCE.FRK/FILENA~1 files to their corresponding full
filenames (stored as null-terminated strings starting at byte 49 in
the resource files, apparently), copying to .../filename/rsrc, and
setting the info
to match...)
Probably what you want to use for your google search is "../
namedFork". However I think as of Leopard this ability has been killed
by the brain-dead NeXTies. So maybe your only chance is to use Rezilla
or something similar.
