Not true - the ResourceMap contains some 24-bit pointers, or at
least it used to, as well as some 16-bit length fields as well.
Unless these have been changed (possible I guess, I don't know)
these will bite you before the file fork limitations do.
I'm sorry, but it is true. We're not talking about ResourceMaps,
we're talking about resource forks. ResourceMaps are just one thing
that you might store in a resource fork but I don't know of any
reason why you can't store anything you like in them and the limits
for a resource fork are the same as those for a data fork.

Sure, the fork limitations are the same.
But the OP was talking about storing data in the Resource Fork as a
resource (correct me if I'm wrong, I've only been following the thread
peripherally) so ResourceMaps do come into it.
