The resource fork (IMO) is very convenient, but you can avoid using it.
Are you looking at legacy code that heavily depends on resources?
I would imagine though that there could exist a framework that would mimic
(or tap into) the various Resource Mgr APIs. I know from a Carbon
standpoint, there's already logic in place to work with data-fork based
resource files.
