But I got it, resource forks are a dead legacy feature soon to be
removed (or not?) from Mac OS X. It makes me sad to say farewell to
resource forks :''-(
Oh, no, no, I did not say that --- resource forks might very well be
with us for sometime to come; we need to continue to understand resource
fork files for a very very long time. However, they should not be used
for new document formats.
Also note that it's fine to use Resource Manager calls in data fork only
files. However, Cocoa apps are not likely to use this as much, as the
archiving mechanisms in Cocoa aren't based on it. However, if you do
need to use it, functions in Resources.h will work just fine.
