Thanks. I was more concerned with a user altering a data file or the
image resources than just viewing. More so with inexperienced users
tinkering than experienced individuals (obviously, they'll find a way
no matter what you do if they are really so inclined).
Even with the resource-fork apps such as Word, it's trivial to do the
same thing. All you need is a copy of ResEdit or Resourceror and
you're ready to edit.
Why are you so concerned with users editing the data file or image
resources? If they damage the app, they can always just download a new
copy...
Indeed, it seems that worrying about this is akin to trying to lock
them so that the user doesn't "accidentally" delete them, or something.
