The Rez/DeRez approach really isn't appropriate here. Rez is a
text-based language that can be used by programmers to define custom
resources that will then be compiled into a resource file. As such,
it's rather inefficient, and it also doesn't include the metadata that
is stored for a file, nor does it include the data fork. You'd still
be transmitting two separate parts of the file.
On a related but slightly different note, I've been looking for some
time but have failed to find documentation on the syntax of the Rez
file format. It looks fairly simple but I've yet to be able to do
things like include unicode in strings. One of my projects is set up
to build a compressed, internet-ready .dmg file and I'd like to
automate the addition of the click-through license that DiskUtil puts
up when it mounts the disk. Can someone point me to some reasonably
complete documentation on the Rez file format?
Cheers,
Nicko
