I regularly use an application that stores its preferences file in my

"SCREEN_DEPTH") and the value of the resource is the setting for the

I'd like to knock together a little app that allows me to query and
perhaps change these resources. I can do it in OS 9.x using
AppleScript, FaceSpan and any one of a multitude of OS 9-only OSAX
that edit resources.
I have this wonderful development environment at my disposal is OS X
(10.2.3 and Dec 2002 Dev Tools) but I can't find a way in AppleScript
or Cocoa to look at resource forks. Could one of you kind people point
me in the right direction? eg NSQueryResource or "It can't be done..."
Thanks,

It can be done, but you will have to use Carbon to do it.
There are a few third party Cocoa wrappers for the Resource Manager.
Notably, there is one in one of the Omni-kits, and there is one here:
