Then the packages wouldn't show up as such on Mac OS 9
So what? It's dead and buried (at the WWDC it was).
Resource forks are _not_ dead. They are used - amongst other things like
custom icons and previews - by the Finder to save the user's custom
file->application binding information ('usro' resource). This is a new
feature in OS X, not an OS 9 legacy.
Please respect the needs of your users. If they want to store additional
information about your files, don't discard them for political reasons.
Thanks.
Manfred
